Jeanne Birdsall's second book, The Penderwicks on Gardam Street, is hot of the press and now has a permanent place in our collection. We're in the middle of another book right now and as much as we want to ditch it to begin this one, we all agreed we should finish that one first (sniff, sniff). The good news? We will read that one really fast now to get to this one…
It’s out?! Oh, we’ve been waiting! We should finish our current read-aloud Friday. My daughter has wanted me to read The Hobbit next, but I think I’ll be able to talk her into this one instead.
Thanks for the heads-up!

I just put the first book on hold at our library – I read all of DiCamillo’s books while on bed rest at your suggestion and am excited to read this one now!
