The Penderwicks at Last

By: Jeanne Birdsall

Narrated by: Susan Denaker

The finale you've all been waiting for: The Penderwicks at Last is the final, flawless installment in the modern classic series from National Book Award winner and New York Times bestselling author Jeanne Birdsall!

Nine years, five older siblings, a few beloved dogs, and an endless array of adventures--these are the things that have shaped Lydia's journey since readers first met her in The Penderwicks in Spring.

Now it's summertime, and eleven-year-old Lydia is dancing at the bus stop, waiting for big sister Batty to get home from college.

This is a very important dance and a very important wait because the two youngest sisters are about to arrive home to find out that the Penderwicks will all be returning to Arundel this summer, the place where it all began. And better still is the occasion: a good old-fashioned, homemade-by-Penderwicks wedding.

Bursting with heart and brimming with charm, this is a joyful, hilarious ode to the family we love best. And oh my MOPS--Meeting of Penderwick Siblings--does Jeanne Birdsall's The Penderwicks at Last crescendo to one perfect Penderwick finale.

Critic reviews

"Beautifully crafted, both in descriptions and characterizations, this makes for a fitting end to a much-praised series."—Booklist, starred review

"Please don't go, Penderwicks; it's too soon to say goodbye." —Kirkus Reviews

Sad to see the series end

My family and I have giggled our way through this series. Although the final two books were not quite as wonderful as the previous ones, we still loved listening to follow the adventures of our favorite family. Enjoy.

Good but

The plot in all the Penderwicks is fun but man does Jeanne birdsall not know how kids work it is more apparent in the other ones I really love this series but it can be VERY frustrating but would recommend if you want a fun audio book but it feels like a worse little woman so listen to this series then try little woman if you enjoyed this.
