The Penderwicks in Spring
The Penderwicks in...

The Penderwicks in Spring is a fun, wacky, action-filled book about a girl (Batty) who grows a dog walking job for Cilantro, a wrinkled shar-pei, and Duchess, a fat dachshund. Among these surprises, Jeffery, an honorary Penderwick, comes for Batty and Skye's birthday. But when an unexpected surprise turns a corner, plans fall apart. What is happening to Batty's best-laid plans?

I finished that book yesterday, and I loved it. I wish I had an older brother (or an older brother figure) like Nick or Jeffery. I loved Batty in this book and really liked the continuation of Skye and Jane and Rosy. Awesome book, overall. Probably my favorite in the whole series.

I read it right after it came out! I love the Penderwicks and have basically been growing up with them.  I wasn't sure if I would like having only Batty and Ben narrate, but I was pleasently surpised.  I wish the wait between books wasn't so long.  

True, I totally agree! I would love to have brother figure like Nick or Jeffery! I would also love live on the same street as them so I could be friends with everyone!  

I got way to excited every time one of my fandoms was mentioned! Skye has always been my favorite, and she likes the 10th Doctor best too! *squeals* But if she and Jeffery don't work stuff out in the next book I will be so mad at her...

I got this book a few weeks ago and read it immediately. I was sooooooooooooo excited for a new Penderwicks book. I really enjoyed hearing a lot of Batty and some Ben...but I missed Skye, Rosalind and Jane a lot. I hope in the final one we get to hear equal amounts of everyone-even Lydia:)

I just read this book too. I was so happy when I found it in the library because it was one of my favorite series when I was little (and it still is) and I was so glad I found another one. I totally agree about Nick and Jeffrey, I wish I knew them in real life. I wish I knew all the characters really, but I think Skye is my favorite Penderwick. I can't wait for the next one.
