The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall
The Penderwicks is a National Book Award Winner and is a lovely story about four sisters who travel to the Berkshire Mountains with their father for a summer vacation. The sisters have many adventures and run into many tricky situations which require a convening of the sisters in a meeting of the MOOPS. The MOOPS must find solutions to some of their dilemmas including what to do about their friend Jeffrey who's mother insists upon sending him away to military school. Read about the adventures the sisters have with Jeffrey, Cagney the gardener, Cagney's pet rabbits (one of whom almost dies), and the fearful Mrs. Tifton. This is a great book for students in second grade and up.
