The At Home Family Book Club presents The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall
Family reading, intended for ages 8 and up.
This summer the Penderwick sisters have a wonderful surprise: a holiday on the grounds of a beautiful estate called Arundel. Soon they are busy discovering the summertime magic of Arundel’s sprawling gardens, treasure-filled attic, tame rabbits, and the cook who makes the best gingerbread in Massachusetts. But the best discovery of all is Jeffrey Tifton, son of Arundel’s owner, who quickly proves to be the perfect companion for their adventures. The icy-hearted Mrs. Tifton is not as pleased with the Penderwicks as Jeffrey is, though, and warns the new friends to stay out of trouble. Which, of course, they will—won’t they? One thing’s for sure: it will be a summer the Penderwicks will never forget.
The at home Family Book Club Kit includes a copy of the book to check out, discussion questions, and snacks.
Kit pickup begins on October 1, and continues through October 31.
Kits are limited. Priority is given to patrons who register, and then on a first-come, first-served basis in the Children’s Library. Books will be checked out to your library card when you pick up the kit.
