Elle asked this question about The Penderwicks at Last (The Penderwicks, #5):
will someone please explain to me why everyone is talking so much about skeffery in this book? if she turned him down last time why should she say yes now? and, she is at collage in calafornia.

He is her mentore 4. They're 7 years apart. All of this has been pointed out, but everyone seems to forget that Jeanne Birdsall said she was writing this based off of Little Women, but this time she was going to write it the way it was supposed to be written. Which means Batty and Jeffrey (Amy and Laurie) do not get together and Skye and Jeffrey (Jo and Laurie) do. She also said her readers would not be disappointed. If I were disappointed, it would be because Skeffrey didn't happen. I know I'm not answering your question, but here's an answer: because Jeffrey is (I think) everybody's favorite character (if not Nick) and Skye is everyone's third favorite (because Nick is second). So of course they have to get together, is what everyone's saying. Just wondering, have you read all the books?(less)
