The Penderwicks at Point Mouette

Book Talk

It’s summer once again and time for Penderwick vacations.  Yes, I said vacations, because this year the family will be separated.  Some will go to England, some will go to New Jersey, and some will go to Maine. With Rosalind in New Jersey, Skye will be the Oldest Available Penderwick (OAP) for the Maine group, and she is none too sure she can do it. But what can happen in only two weeks?  Plenty!  Sprained ankles, swollen noses, stolen kisses, emergency haircuts, and the resolution of a long-standing mystery are all part of the adventures of The Penderwicks at Point Mouette.
