Penderwicks in Spring

This is a very good book about a family of 6 kids. They are struggling with money. It is told from the view of an 8 year old boy and an 11 year old girl, the 4 and 5th oldest in the group. Betsy, the girl, loves music. After an unexpected change of teacher in music class, the new teacher discovers her singing voice. To pay for the singing lessons, she starts her own dog walking business. Along the way she overhears something disturbing about herself, but doesn't tell anyone she actually heard it. She has to cope with this piece of information while keeping up with normal life, and that might just prove too much for her.

This week I am going to be reading Things Not Seen.
