Take a break from the holiday rush and enjoy
Jeanne Birdsall's The Penderwicks. This National Book Award Winner is a tale of four sisters (!), a
lovely estate, and a boy in need of friends. It'

s a story, in the words of Jane, the second to the youngest of the sisters, "of
heart and
truth and
adventure." And
Hound and those 2
rabbits are just adorable!
Do you have sisters? What are they like?
Me? I just
love my sisters!
