Oh, it is almost time for summer vacation: lazy days, running around, and making new friends. The four Penderwick sisters are best friends already. Rosalind is practical, Skye is feisty, Jane is artistic, and little sister Batty is the shy one. They're spending the summer at Arundel, the great big sprawling estate of mean Mrs. Tifton. But when the Penderwick sisters meet Jeffrey, Mrs. Tifton's son, they gain another playmate for the summer. But this new friend is about to be sent off to military school—unless the Penderwicks can convince Mrs. Tifton otherwise. This is the kind of exciting summer that everyone wishes they could have. You will definitely want to be a part of the Penderwicks!
