The Penderwicks

If you haven't read The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy you need to read it. I just read the sequel The Penderwicks on Gardam Street. I loved it too. I read several reviews that didn't like it as much, but I thought it was just as charming and sweet. I actually cried in the prologue. I feel like these books are a perfect example of children's literature. Innocent and sweet with out being cloying. You must read these. There are fewer funnier bits in the second but I am still looking forward to the next three planned in the series.
