The Penderwicks at Last! Which is the final Penderwicks book, which gives me mixed feelings, because on the one hand the Penderwicks deserves a proper conclusion, but on the other… no more Penderwicks books! What will I do??? Even among children’s authors these days, there are so few writing books so full of good cheer and happy times. ALL I WANT IS FUCKING PICNICS, AUTHORS. GIVE ME MY GODDAMN PICNICS.

The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher. I don't think there are any picnics, but in the second book they DO camp out in a lighthouse.

The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street. Sweet enough to make your teeth ache.
