strawberrypeachy 's review for:
The Penderwicks at Point Mouette
by Jeanne Birdsall
-2019-
I love this books. I love this series. I love these characters. I really wish there wasn't a huge time jump between this and the next. The first three books will always be my absolute favorites of the series, this one being my favorite of the entire series.
I listened to this on audiobook this time, and, while Rosalind is my favorite character, I'm glad she wasn't in this one all that much. I hate the way the narrator says her name! I say it as "Rose-a-lind" and the narrator says it as "Roz-a-lind". I did look up an author interview, and she does intend it to be "Roz", but personally I'm going to keep saying it a "Rose". It was more irritating to hear "Rosy" pronounced as "Rozzy".
Quote: When the moose finally wandered back into the trees, Jeffrey had one last thing to say before leaving for Birches. "It's just that sometimes I wish we lived closer to each other, Skye. I sometimes sort of miss you. Sometimes." "I do, too." She cleared her throat. "Sometimes."

I really really like this book. I really really like this series. I'm now sad that I only have two books left to read. I'm also sad that the next book jumps like 5 years O.o
"The Penderwick family was being torn apart!" Mr. Penderwick and Iantha were flying off to England, with Ben, for their honeymoon. Rosalind was leaving for New Jersey with her friend Anna for 2 weeks, and Aunt Claire was taking the rest of the sisters, along with Jeffery, to Point Mouette, Maine.
Skye is now OAP, and is worried about Batty blowing up. Jane needs to write a Sabrina Starr book or this whole vacation will have failed. Batty is missing Rosalind, but finds a new friend. Accidents happen, golf...doesn't get played, friendships are formed, and a jerk is found.
This books was cute, adorable, fun, and heartwarming, while also being bittersweet and bit heartbreaking. How? It's hard to explain, just read it. It's the Penderwicks!
I do wish Rosalind was in this book for more than a few chapters, but I see why she wasn't. It let Skye grow as a character, which was nice to see.
Some Quotes:
“Admit you’re glad to be here.” “I won’t give you that satisfaction.” “Then I won’t tell you why I’m so happy.” “Okay, don’t” She knew he would anyway
This was past writer's block "Writer's boulder. Writer's skyscraper. Writer's Great Wall of China." She said.
"Maybe" Said Skye. "What do you mean maybe? I know of what I speak. After all, I'm a writer, and thus understand human emotions." (said Jane) "Unless they're your own" "Touche" Jane stuck out her tongue at her sister.
