Once again we laughed and also wondered/"worried" about the characters' predicaments.
The summer holds surprises and change for Penderwick sisters and their beloved friend Jeffery. Mr. Penderwick, his new wife, and her son Ben are off to England for a honeymoon; Rosalind will spend two weeks at the New Jersey shore with her friend so that leaves Skye as the OAP (Oldest Available Penderwick). This responsibility causes Skye to worry about and doubt her ability as OAP. How can Skye keep Batty safe and Jane from falling in love with an empty headed boy named Dominic?
A major change awaits Jeffery which turns his world upside down.
This family shows it is possible to face challenges and be victorious.. .as long as the family members have each other.
*Highly, highly recommend.
- I own the actual book but we borrowed the audio CD from the library.
Points to discuss: This book has more "love" related issues, divorce (several of the grown ups in the book are divorced), Dominic kisses Jane as a dare from his older brothers, Jeffrey's situation may be difficult for the more sensitive child (spoiler alert: His mother does not tell his father she is pregnant and withholds that information from the father until this book.)
