Báječné prázdninové dobrodružství čtyř svérázných a odlišných sester Penderwickových.

Divoká a tvrdohlavá Skye, zasněná Jane, malá Batty a zodpovědná Rosalinda se ocitnou na nádherné usedlosti Arundel, kam se vydali společně se svým otcem prožít prázdniny. Všechno vypadá fantasticky až na paní domácí. To je skutečně kapitola sama pro sebe. Paní Tiftonová se snaží zkazit dětem každé dobrodružství a není to opravdu právě nejpříjemnější dáma. Zato její syn Jeffrey je báječný kluk. Ale to by bylo, aby si tahle parta nechala zkazit zábavu!

In summer, Rosalind heads to the beach while the other Penderwick sisters, Hound, Aunt Claire, and honorary brother Jeffrey go to Point Mouette. This leaves Skye as the Oldest Available Penderwick, a daunting responsibility for her.
