This year, the three younger Penderwick sisters are going on vacation without their eldest, Rosalind, for the first time in their lives, which means they will have to try on the burden of older sisterhood. A cozy house with a veranda, salty ocean spray and cheeky seagulls – it’s all magical! But what if one of the sisters suddenly drowns, burns at the stake, or, worse, bursts? And the other one will take it and go crazy - or maybe she’s already gone, if you look closely... How to take responsibility for everyone? And how to behave and what to say if the past and future of Jeffrey, your best friend, depends on your word? Here is the continuation of the bestseller about the Penderwick sisters, which received the US National Book Award in 2005.
