The Penderwicks: The Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy by Jeanne Birdsall

While vacationing with their widowed father in the Berkshire Mountains, four lovable sisters, ages four through twelve, share adventures with a local boy, much to the dismay of his snobbish mother.

Liz says:

“This is a great example of modern day old-fashioned storytelling. It’s a frolic! It’s also the winner of the National Book Award.”
