Progress

I've been working on the summer homework, and I've made pretty good progress.  One of my assignments is that I need to read 3 books and write a summary and a commentary for each one.  I finished one today.  It's on The Penderwicks at Point Mouette.  If you're interested, read on.  If you're not, too bad.  Just keep reading.  Please.

The Penderwicks at Point Mouette

Written by Jeanne Birdsall

Summary

    In The Penderwicks at Point Mouette, the four Penderwick sisters are going apart for the first time.  Their father is in England with his new wife, and Rosalind is going to New Jersey, leaving Skye in charge.  Everyone doubts Skye’s capability of being the Oldest Available Penderwick. (OAP)  With Jane in a romantic daze, especially after meeting Dominic, and Batty with her newly discovered musical talent, the two weeks at Point Mouette are quite an adventure.

Commentary

    Whenever I read a Penderwicks book, I fear it will be the last.   I treasure and adore them.  This book was no different.  I love connecting with the characters.  I relate to Rosalind’s maturity, Jane’s love of writing, Batty’s wildness.  Skye’s blonde hair and love for being organized I don’t share.  I would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking for a comfortable, fun, and exciting book to sit down with.

So, what did you think of it?  If you have any (positive) comments on it?  If you do, you can click the box below this post that lets you comment and tell me what you think.



And for those who didn't want to continue reading, how do you feel about it now?

Peace.

Have You Read...

Because I just did. It's a good book. I borrowed it from a friend of mine.

Want to hear a dramaticish description I made up? Okay. Here.

"Enter the world of the Penderwicks. The father, and his four daughters. Rosalind, the oldest, Skye, the bad-tempered one, Jane, the dramatic one, and Batty, the youngest and sometimes craziest one. See how Batty makes friends with the next-door-neighbor, how Skye and Jane swap homework, only to lead up to a fiasco, and Rosalind runs in to trouble that's only too common for her age in books. But the father has a problem that gets them all: He's got to start dating again. This can only mean one, oops, I mean two words: Uh-oh. Wait. Is "uh-oh" two words?"

So. What did you think? Was it good?

Okay, well, this was the sequel to The Penderwicks.

I read it last summer. It's just as fun. I think my favorite part was when Skye tried to make cookies. And notice I said "tried". She set them on broil. She went upstairs and worked in a math book. After about an hour, she smelled smoke. She went downstairs and found out she nearly burnt down the house.

Well, there's my opinion on the Penderwicks. Check it out!

PS: I'm going to London tomorrow!
