The Penderwicks in Spring

By Jeanne Birdsall

Book Overview

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. 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.

Customer Reviews

Front and Back Cover of Very Good Condition book had rips

A wonderful book, I have 100% adored this series since I was a kid & needed a new copy for my collection. I purchased a copy listed as "very good" condition, and was a bit disappointed to find the front cover, back cover, and initial title page inside had small rips. Otherwise, the book is fine, but I'd think "very good" condition would imply the covers wouldn't have tears. While the first 2 books in the series are undeniably the best, the rest of the series still has that childhood wonder and fun nostalgic cozy feeling that I'd recommend to adults and kids alike.
