This book one the National Book Award in 2005. This story reminded me of a more modern version--only a younger group of sisters--of Little Women. Both books have four sisters and a neighbor boy to whom they make friends with, only in the Penderwicks their father rented a vacation house.
When I first read this book, I thought is was a quaint, quiet story which I enjoyed, but when I began listening to it on audio I was distracted by how many times the author uses said as a dialogue tag. All-in-all, the innocent adventures the girls find themselves makes a charming read.
