About the Penderwicks ...

Meet the Penderwicks, a family who believes in truth and honor, yet can’t seem to stay out of trouble. There's oldest sister Rosalind, responsible for the rest; stubborn, feisty Skye; dreamy Jane; and shy little Batty, whose best friend is Hound, a large dog more loyal than obedient.

Jeanne Birdsall has published two books about the Penderwicks. The third Penderwick book, The Penderwicks at Point Mouette, will be coming out in the summer of 2011. She plans to write five altogether.
