But the adventure they get isn’t quite what they had in mind. Mr. Penderwick’s sister has decided it’s time for him to start dating—and the girls know that can only mean one thing: disaster. Enter the Save-Daddy Plan—a plot so brilliant, so bold, so funny, that only the Penderwick girls could have come up with it. It’s high jinks, big laughs, and loads of family warmth as the Penderwicks triumphantly return. 3328784 8 4 2008 The Penderwicks on Gardam Street total:1209|5:499|4:478|3:195|2:26|1:11| 1209 5055 1782 404 4 3 false false Sun Aug 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 22 08:42:16 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 10 08:35:32 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 3 false false Sun May 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue May 06 19:55:42 -0700 2008 Tue May 06 20:30:29 -0700 2008 The Penderwicks so much that I was worried that the sequel couldn't be as good.
