The Penderwicks are a family who can't help but get into trouble. Dad is a botany professor, and there are his four daughters: Rosalind (she’s the oldest and the most responsible), Skye (she has the most explosive temper), Jane (you'll hear about her soon! Well, at least you'll read her first book), and Batty (she’s the very youngest, the quietest and shyest, and never goes anywhere without wearing butterfly wings on her back). They also have a dog—it’s obvious that when you have four daughters, it’s completely impossible to get by without a dog!
