When she overhears a devastating truth about her birth from her older sister Skye, she plunges into a serious depression, and her refusal to leave her bed alarms the entire family. When Batty’s singing voice catches the attention of her new music teacher, she’s determined to earn her own money to pay for singing lessons, but her efforts lead unexpectedly to dog-walking, a task she’s not sure she’s ready for after Hound. Batty is still grieving the loss of Hound, who died six months earlier, but she’s also distressed over the family’s tight money situation. The focus of the fourth installment in the Penderwick series is on the younger siblings: Lydia, the effervescent and multilingual two-year-old Ben, the only boy Penderwick and most especially ten-year-old Batty.
