Publisher's summary

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 best-seller Jeanne Birdsall, is perfect for fans of Noel Streatfeild and Edward Eager.

Springtime is finally arriving on Gardam Street, and there are surprises in store for each member of the family.

Some surprises are just wonderful, like neighbor Nick Geiger coming home from war. And some are ridiculous, like Batty's new dog-walking business. Batty is saving up her dog-walking money for an extra-special surprise for her family, which she plans to present on her upcoming birthday. But when some unwelcome surprises make themselves known, the best-laid plans fall apart.

Filled with all the heart, hilarity, and charm that has come to define this beloved clan, The Penderwicks in Spring is about fun and family and friends (and dogs), and what happens when you bring what's hidden into the bright light of the spring sun.

Love all the Penderwicks

This one was just as good as all the others but had heavier themes.

Our household’s absolute favorites

We adore these books beyond measure! The Penderwicks all feel like our own family members and we laugh and cry along with them with each listen or read…I’ve lost count! They’re perfect! Book four might be my favorite but I think I say that about all of them. Don’t miss these beautiful books!

Amazing! Awesome!

I have loved these books to today! I didn’t expect Batty to grow up so fast! I thought that she wouldn’t be older than I am at the end of the series but first she’s way younger than I am then a little bit older than me!😃😍

Our beloved Penderwicks are growing up

So many surprises! After we got over the initial shock that they are so much older, we were right back in the plotline and really invested! This series is so fun and we love this reading of the book! Five stars from our family of lots of girls and one boy :)
