Praise for Penderwicks in Spring:
"...chock full of all the qualities fans love (humor, heart, and the honest exploration of emotions)...[t]he Penderwicks have a strong bench, so, happily, expect more."--Booklist, Starred
"The warmth and compassion of the Penderwick family comes through in every page of this slice-of-life novel, healing emotional bruises and reassuring readers that most problems can be overcome."--Publishers Weekly, Starred
"Throughout the series, Birdsall has demonstrated considerable skill at crafting a modern classic, merging modern-day wit with an old-fashioned charm. This latest addition to the beloved series ends on a satisfying note, and readers will eagerly await the final book."--School Library Journal
"Another charmer that will generate smiles, tears and fuzzy feelings."--Kirkus Reviews
"Birdsall, as always, lightens her serious themes with humor and the background hum of a busy household full of likable people."--The Bulletin
"Birdsall's voice has lost none of its vibrance. She captures the fun, foibles, and heartbreak of every character."--VOYA
"We experience this idiosyncratic blended family from the younger points of view and feel the emotional tumult of the elementary-school set in a story at once funny, tender and wrenching."--Wall Street Journal
"[T]he story is still imbued with the hilarious family and neighborhood moments, ritualistic sisterly (now sibling-ly) meetings and perfectly drawn animal characters that Penderwick fans have come to love."--BookPage
"Birdsall leaves us satisfied but wistfully hoping for yet another installment, of Batty and the clan farther down the road."--Buffalo News
