I love the play that Jane writes! The ending is super happy, Jeffery turns up again and the whole thing makes you want to jump into the air. This series of modern classics about the charming Penderwick family from National Book Award winner and New York Times bestseller Jeanne Birdsall is perfect. Lots of other stories go on too, Batty and Ben are onto the mysterious Bug Man, Rosalind is feeling differently about her friend, Tommy Geiger, and Skye and Jane do each other's homework with exciting results. Iantha and Ben turn out to be the perfect people to join the family and once everyone realises this, there's a lot of happiness. In true Penderwick style, they hatch the 'Save Daddy Plan'! They set their Dad up with dates he won't get on with, he himself goes on pretend dates and all the while, they're getting to know their lovely next-door neighbour Iantha and her son Ben. Rosalind, who knew her mother the best, finds it incredibly hard and the others don't much like it either but each of the sisters reacts in a different way because they are all different. Aunt Claire is the keenest to make this happen. We find out that the girl's mother did want her husband, Mr Penderwick, to try and meet someone new, after a while.
