The Penderwicks on Gardam Street

By: Jeanne Birdsall

Narrated by: Susan Denaker

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.

The Penderwick sisters are home on Gardam Street and ready for an adventure! But the adventure they get isn’t quite what they had in mind. Mr. Penderwick’s sister has decided it’s time for him to start dating—and the girls know that can only mean one thing: disaster. Enter the Save-Daddy Plan—a plot so brilliant, so bold, so funny, that only the Penderwick girls could have come up with it. It’s high jinks, big laughs, and loads of family warmth as the Penderwicks triumphantly return.©2008 Jeanne Birdsall; (P)2008 Listening Library

Critic reviews

"This is a book to cherish and to hold close like a warm, cuddly blanket that you draw around yourself to keep out the cold."

"Just the sort of cozy fare that's missing in today's mean-girl world."

Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, April 28, 2008:

“It's sheer pleasure to spend time with these exquisitely drawn characters, girls so real that readers will feel the wind through their hair as they power down the soccer field.”

Lovely

Lovely story and amazing performance! I liked him one's story better, however this was still excellent. I love how this series deals with family and growing-up issues in an age appropriate way with grace and much humor. I love the type of person or teaches you to admire. I also love that these books retain the secret and fantastic world of childhood, they promote trust and admiration of wise adults.
