The Penderwicks in Spring

With over one million copies sold, this series of modern classics about the charming Penderwick family, from National Book Award winner and <i>New York Times</i> bestseller Jeanne Birdsall, is perfect for fans of Noel Streatfeild and Edward Eager.<br />  <br /> Springtime is finally arriving on Gardam Street, and there are surprises in store for each member of the family. <br />  <br /> 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.<br />  <br /> Filled with all the heart, hilarity, and charm that has come to define this beloved clan, <i>The Penderwicks in Spring</i> 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.<br />
