This sequel finds life going along as it should--until Mr. Penderwick contemplates dating. Panicked, his daughters concoct a "Save-Daddy Plan." The solution to the dating dilemma may be obvious to readers from the outset, but no matter: Birdsall again delivers genuinely funny scenes and tender moments between father and daughters. The Penderwicks are fully fleshed-out characters who deserve a happily-ever-after ending.
