The Penderwicks In Spring (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
The moment it stopped, and even while Skye and Jane shoveled the Penderwicks’ driveway, Batty was stomping away at the cold wet stuff, determined to get spring back as quickly as possible. She enlisted the dogs to help, coaxing Duchess to shove her way into the snow, her broad chest acting like a miniature snowplow and leaving behind a print that Ben and Rafael hoped was from a wormlike alien out of the Alpha Centauri system. Cilantro didn’t need coaxing. He took to the snow as his natural environment, bounding stiff-legged through drifts, except when a snowplow came to clear the street, which made him hide behind Batty. Then overnight the temperature zoomed up and water poured off the roofs and into the gutters and downspouts, along the driveways and into the street, where rivulets chuckled into the storm drains. Only the most stubborn snow was left behind, and the warm soaking rain that came next took care of that, and spring was back for real. Teensy mauve budlets appeared on lilac bushes, the forsythia were suddenly all bright, waving yellow, and when early the next week the first crimson azalea blooms arrived, Lieutenant Geiger woke up again and reentered life.
