The Penderwicks in Spring (The Penderwicks #4) 
*4/8/15*After waiting for 4 years, I finally read it, and loved, and it was all over in one day. And now the wait is back for at least another 2 years. I thought going in that the book being narrated by only Batty and Ben would bother me, but I actually liked it. We still got to hear about the other sisters, just not as much. Ok. About Skye and Jeffrey. I have shipped them since who knows when, and if they don't get together in the last book I'm going to be so mad.Pre-reading:Jeanne Birdsall
"Listen to me, Batty. Dogs die. People die. Guinea pigs die! We do the best we can while they're alive, and then they die anyway. Right?"Heavy stuffy, especially for a beloved children's series that typically features more cheerful subject matter. Yet these words are a catharsis for young Batty Penderwick, who has been weighted down with self-imposed guilt for (she believes) being the reason loved ones have died. From the beginning of the book, when newest Penderwick sibling Lydia insists on

The Penderwicks are my favorite series of books. I have literally grown up with Rosalind, Skye, Jane, and Batty! I was Jane's age when the books first came out and I will be her age when the last book comes out. Every car trip includes listening to the Penderwicks, which me and my sister can recite from heart! This book has been long anticipated, can't wait to read what Mrs. Birdsall has in store for America's favorite family. These books will become classics for the future generations! Counting
Reading about the Penderwicks is soothing. It's celebratory. It is like coming home after a long trip and being absolutely charmed by the known, the ordinary, the nuances of family. I love every little detail on every page.
It's three in the morning and I'm a mess. I didn't think that this book would have that kind of power over me. Well, maybe I kind of did, but some unexpected and expected things happened and I don't even know quite what to think about some of them-or whether I should give this book five stars, or four stars, or one star. My heart hurts. Now there will be spoilers. When you get a new book in a series, your fear is always that it will be different from the ones you know and loved before. It's even
I love this series, and I loved almost everything about this book. It is so beautifully written, I sank right into it in the first couple of pages and was carried all the way through with a feeling of deep comfort. It could easily stand on its own, but of course it's even more fun to have read the earlier books beforehand. I looooooved Batty and Ben, the two younger Penderwicks who get to be PoV characters this time round. And oh, did I sob at the climax of the book - I can't remember the last

Narration Supposing Books The Penderwicks in Spring (The Penderwicks #4)
Springtime is finally arriving on Gardam Street, and there are surprises in store for each member of the family. Some surprises are just wonderful, like neighbor Nick Geiger coming home from war. And some are ridiculous, like Batty's new dog-walking business. Batty is saving up her dog-walking money for an extra-special surprise for her family, which she plans to present on her upcoming birthday. But when some unwelcome surprises make themselves known, the best-laid plans fall apart. Filled with all the heart, hilarity, and charm that has come to define this beloved clan, The Penderwicks in Spring is about fun and family and friends (and dogs), and what happens when you bring what's hidden into the bright light of the spring sun. With over one million copies sold, this series of modern classics about the charming Penderwick family, from National Book Award winner and New York Times bestseller Jeanne Birdsall, is perfect for fans of Noel Streatfeild and Edward Eager.Present Out Of Books The Penderwicks in Spring (The Penderwicks #4)
