The Penderwicks on Gardam Street (The Penderwicks #2)
4.5 starsWhile I didn't quite like this as much as the first one, I still loved it. I missed Jeffrey. And Tommy just didn't replace him. Hopefully, Jeffrey will be in later books.

Reading a Penderwicks book is like a receiving a warm hug on a chilly day or like remembering a fond memory from your childhood. It's blissful nostalgia & the joy of childhood.I will never, ever stop coming back to the Penderwicks whenever I'm in need of a comfortable, cozy, & delightful read. <3(And just so you know, my future kids will be read this series MANY times. *grins*)/ / /Can I
The sequel to "The Penderwicks" earns four stars (where the first earned five) because I do feel that some of the "magic" of the first book (with Arundel and Jeffrey, Cagney and the bunnies, and summertimethat enchanted, timeless setting) was lost by having the girls return to school and "normal life."
