商品簡介
在Gardam街的春天，Penderwick家的故事持續展開。Batty努力經營自己的遛狗事業，為的是存錢送家人一份獨一無二的生日驚喜。她滿懷期待，也滿懷善意，卻沒想到一些無聲的傷痛悄悄影響著她的心。隨著秘密被揭開，Batty不僅面對情緒的起伏，也在這個春天真正學會什麼是愛、理解與放下。溫暖、含蓄又細膩的筆觸，讓這本書不只是關於四季轉換的日常，更是一部描寫情感成長的動人小說。
With over one million copies sold, this series of modern classics about the charming Penderwick family, from National Book Award winner andNew York Times bestseller Jeanne Birdsall, is perfect for fans of Noel Streatfeild and Edward Eager.
Springtime is finally arriving on Gardam Street, and there are surprises in store for each member of the family.
Some surprises are just wonderful, like neighbor Nick Geiger coming home from war. And some are ridiculous, like Batty’s new dog-walking business. Batty is saving up her dog-walking money for an extra-special surprise for her family, which she plans to present on her upcoming birthday. But when some unwelcome surprises make themselves known, the best-laid plans fall apart.
Filled with all the heart, hilarity, and charm that has come to define this beloved clan,The Penderwicks in Spring is about fun and family and friends (and dogs), and what happens when you bring what's hidden into the bright light of the spring sun.
