the penderwicks

This book was written by Jeanne Birdsall, a mother who wanted to find such a good children book that she could not find no more. Thus she decided to became a writer, and here it is, a nice-simple-warmth tale about Rosalind, Skye, Jane, Batty, and their dog Hound.

What is this book about? Well, it was not as complicated as Narnia series, for sure :p It's about a quest on four Penderwicks sisters staying on a beautiful estate called Arundel, and their adventure with Jeffery, son of Arundels' owner.


Naturally, the book will remind you on Enid Blyton's series (Famous Five, Secret Seven, etc) or other children book's author. So, what do i get from this book ?

Children are troubles, arent they ?
But they are not bad as you think.

Are they any laughs here?
Well, I could not help not to (at least) smile on their sincere minds, stupid-but-makes-sense thoughts, try-to-be-heroic deeds, and their others action.

Thrilled?
I dont think so, but you will be curious waiting for the next chapter.

Happy ending?
Hmm.. it's not my style to reveal the ending of any books or movies.
But, i would say.. this is a good book for children :D
