Yes! Actually, the author said that many of Little Women’s plot points are woven into the books...some without her even noticing. The characters remind me so much of the March sisters.
I guess she was also inspired by Edward Eager and E.Nesbit :)
I can't sing the praises of The Penderwicks series enough! They are such enjoyable books, especially the the first three. I own all of them in paperback.
Happy birthday, friend! 40 is great. (And also, I definitely intended my message about being good enough to apply to all of life, not just raising readers, so please apple it in large and generous amounts, as often as needed.)
I’ve heard of the Penderwick series but never read it--sounds delightful! Definitely adding to my list. Just based on your description, the characters are giving me Little Women vibes.
The Penderwick series sound lovely and I'm glad you included the note about your son - we've really tried to expose my son to books with both female and male protagonists.
My older son has been LOVING Ranger In Time, which I had never heard of before this newsletter - I am super excited to look into the Magic Bone series for both my 6- and my 9-year old! These recommendations are always fantastic.
I have heard of the Penderwicks but didn't know much about the series. I am sold on it now!
I am forever grateful to you for introducing me to The Penderwicks and while I haven't read them with. my daughters yet, I cannot wait and it is next for me and B (after we finish the latest Stella book). This series is perfection and I've recommended it to so many people who also have loved it.
I'm surprised to learn the series is 20 years ago as the books are timeless. I wouldn't have been able to guess when they were written.

Would love to win this book for my daughter. I hope Canadians are eligible.
I’ve heard of this series!!! Gonna recommend from now on :)
