The Penderwicks at Point Mouette audiobook download is a novel about six children who live in a lighthouse on an island off the coast of Maine. They have all kinds of adventures, solve mysteries, and have plenty of fun with their two governesses, Mrs. Penderwick and Miss Adams. The book also has an interesting mystery that keeps readers turning the pages to find out what will happen next.
The Penderwicks are an adorable family of sisters, ages six through seventeen. Their father is a writer of children's books and their mother is an artist specializing in watercolors. One day, the Penderwicks visit the home of Mrs. Shirley Temple Black near Point Mouette in Nova Scotia, Canada to find her house abandoned and dilapidated. They decide to go exploring and spend the rest of the summer there until they find just the right spot for their own cottage on a cliff overlooking the ocean.
Four sisters and their dog create an unforgettable journey to a mysterious French lighthouse. The Penderwicks are not typical children, with books on nature instead of dolls to play with, but they have great adventures nonetheless. They encounter an old man who forbids them from touching the lighthouse, in response to which one of the girls produces a book that turns out to be full of illustrations of the man's life. When he finally starts talking about his life, he reveals that he was once a philosopher living in France during the 19th century. Without realizing it at first, we are listening to a story told by this old man.
When the four Penderwicks go to stay at their great-aunt's house for a year, they find that it is just as quarantined as their father said it would be. The house is filled with cats, and everyone stays indoors all day. The only thing to do is pretend that the island is their own personal playground.
The Penderwicks at Point Mouette is about four children who, along with their parents, sail to a remote island off the coast of Massachusetts. They are on vacation, but there is a lot more to the story behind it than meets the eye. The island has been in the family for generations and they have never left it or even come close to exploring it. The kids go on an adventure and find out secrets about their family they never knew before.
The Penderwicks at Point Mouette is one of the most beloved books of all time. It's a tale about three sisters who go to live on their uncle's estate, far away from home and they love it. The whole story is told in diary entries as they write in it every day. The audiobook narrator takes on the voice of each sister and uses different accents for each sibling which makes the story come alive. I recommend listening to this audiobook when you're doing chores or before bedtime!
