Weekly Spotlight




Traveling for the holidays and dreading that long car trip? This week's spotlight, The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy, is a perfect story for the whole family to listen to while stuck on a long car ride. What is this story about? Well, the title sums it up pretty well - while on their summer vacation, four sisters meet the boy living next door to their rented cottage and have all sorts of adventures together. As much as they try to stay out of trouble, trouble just seems to follow them around.

If you like this book, there are currently two others in the series, The Penderwicks on Gardham Street, and The Penderwicks at Point Mouette.
