The Penderwicks are back! When summer comes around, it's off to the beach for Rosalind . . . and off to Point Mouette for the rest of the Penderwick girls, along with Hound, Aunt Claire and their honorary brother Jeffrey. That leaves Skye as OAP (Oldest Available Penderwick) – a terrifying notion for all, but especially for Skye. Things look good as they settle into their cosy holiday cottage, with picturesque surroundings, enthusiastic seagulls, and a friendly next-door neighbour. But when Skye’s list of instructions gets ruined, the weight of responsibility is on her shoulders. Can she hold it together long enough to figure out Rosalind's directions about not letting Batty explode? Will Jane’s new-found obsession with romance – and the skateboarding Dominic Orne – end in heartache? And will Jeffrey be able to keep peace between the girls . . . these girls who are his second, and most heartfelt, family? Filled with laughs and tears of joy, this latest installment in the Penderwick’s adventures will warm you to the core.
