The second The Penderwicks on Gardham Street was good, too, but didn't have quite the same magic as the first. I thought the third tackled a very tough subject that might be hard for young kids to grasp. But I'm speaking from inside my bubble where neither I nor my own children had to encounter something so emotionally wrenching. I guess it's no worse than The Parent Trap but it seems harder for all involved in this piece of fiction to handle. Maybe I'll wait til next spring time to read The Penderwicks in Spring, the lastest in the series. You said there were five. Did I miss one?Caroljeanannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115069694887828248noreply@blogger.com
