It took a long time for The Penderwicks At Point Mouette to come in for me at my local library. During the waiting time, while I was busy reading other books, I often found myself missing Rosalind, Skye, Jane, Batty, and Jeffrey, and wishing that I could immerse myself in their latest adventure. When I finally did get the book, The Penderwicks At Point Mouette did not disappoint! Although I missed Rosalind, who was absent for most of the book, I loved every page of this third installment in the Penderwicks series. By turns laugh-out-loud funny and deeply touching, The Penderwicks At Point Mouette is perfect for children and adults who love well-crafted, old-fashioned storytelling with a cast of vibrant, multi-faceted, loveable characters. This is definitely the kind of series I can see myself owning to read over and over again! I’ll be eagerly awaiting the sequel!
