Starred review from April 11, 2011
The Penderwick sisters' third adventure brings them back in full entertaining force, despite the absence of their father, who is honeymooning in England, and Rosalind, who's vacationing with a friend in New Jersey. Birdsall fills the gaps in the family ranks with several new characters that the three remaining sisters meet while on a seaside Maine vacation with good-natured Aunt Claire and their beloved friend, Jeffrey. Friendly next-door neighbor Alec, an accomplished musician, takes musical prodigy Jeffrey under his wing, and the children also meet two siblings who are visiting their innkeeper grandparents: Dominic becomes the amusingly ill-fated love interest of aspiring romance writer Jane, and Mercedes is a suitably feisty friend for irrepressible Batty. With Rosalind away, Skye agonizes over her role as OAP (Oldest Available Penderwick), fretting that she won't be able "to keep Batty alive and undamaged for two weeks." Balancing the novel's comedy is an affecting, neatly crafted subplot that builds up to the emotionally charged revelation involving Jeffrey. From start to finish, this is a summer holiday to savor. Ages 8â12.
Who but the Penderwicks could pack so much into two weeks? Without their parents and oldest sister, youngest sisters Batty and Jane--along with 13-year-old Skye filling in as the "OAP" (Oldest Available Penderwick)--are off to Maine with Aunt Claire. As the children explore the beauty of the shore, befriend the neighbors, and make a startling revelation, Penderwick warmth and charm abound. Susan Denaker brings a dignified voice to the role of narrator. Her steady pacing and precise diction make Birdsall's rich images especially vivid. Denaker's portrayal of each sister is spot-on. As the story builds to a climax, Denaker speeds up her voice and heightens the tension with a tight and clipped tone. Celebrate families and summer with the Penderwicks! A.R.
