Jeanne Birdsall Knihy

Báječné prázdninové dobrodružství čtyř svérázných a odlišných sester Penderwickových. Na krásnou usedlost Arundel uprostřed tajuplné zahrady, nového skvělého kamaráda Jeffreyho a spoustu zábavy se jen tak nezapomene. 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.

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

When Flora and her pesky little brother, Crispin, are whisked away by a swirling and swooping wind, she gets the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to give her brother away. With tempting offers from a dragonfly, the man in the moon, and even the wind itself, she will find it difficult to choose.

When summer comes around, it's off to the beach for Rosalind . . . and off to Maine with Aunt Claire for the rest of the Penderwick girls, as well as their old friend, Jeffrey. That leaves Skye as OAP (oldest available Penderwick)—a terrifying notion for all, but for Skye especially. Things look good as they settle into their cozy cottage, with a rocky shore, enthusiastic seagulls, a just-right corner store, and a charming next-door neighbor. But can Skye hold it together long enough to figure out Rosalind's directions about not letting Batty explode? Will Jane's Love Survey come to a tragic conclusion after she meets the alluring Dominic? Is Batty—contrary to all accepted wisdom—the only Penderwick capable of carrying a tune? And will Jeffrey be able to keep peace between the girls . . . these girls who are his second, and most heartfelt, family? It's a rollicking ride as the Penderwicks continue their unforgettable adventures in a story filled with laughs and joyful tears!
