The fifth and final book focuses on eleven year old Lydia, who is finally going to see the famous Arundel her sisters have lauded all of these years. One of her sisters has decided to have her wedding there. As the Penderwicks pour onto the Arundel grounds, they notice some of the scenery and people have changed, but the magic still exists.
Lydia makes a new friend and astonishes her siblings with her ability to interact with the horrible Mrs. Tifton without trembling! Ms. Birdsall offers a peek into Batty's future, although not conclusively, just enough to satisfy.
When I read the Penderwicks books, I want to join in their adventure, their laughter and well . . .be part of their family. This last book does not disappoint. The only disappointment is that the adventures with the Penderwicks has ended.
**Highly, highly recommend.
