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!

"Here in my probably 20th reread, this is, officially, the best of the original 3 Penderwicks books (Spring is its whole own category and we don't even begin to speak of At Last). I am simply a mess. Maybe the scrapes don't have quite the same charm as the earlier books, but I love Alec and Jeffrey. Birdsall captures every moment, and writes so honestly and eloquently. If I were to ever become a writer I would cite Birdsall as my primary inspiration."
"Probably my favorite book out of the entire series"
