The Penderwicks at Point Mouette by Jeanne Birdsall
3.0
The Penderwick family charm still holds fast, but several things made this installment not quite as good as the first two:
-We already had a dose of romance in the last book, and now we have yet ANOTHER with Jane mooning over Dominick, Aunt Clare reminiscing her past loves, and Jeffery wondering who he'll marry. Kids really don't need that much romance in their reading, and we hardly need to marry off every Penderwick there ever was.
-Jane's new obsession with courtly love was eyeroll worthy, all the way through.
-Alec and Jeffery: that's a pretty unbelievable coincidence.
