Every time Finn looks out the window, he's reminded of the stories his grandfather told
him about a special place...where the ocean meets sky. His grandfather has passed, but Finn knows just how to honor his grandfather's memory--he'll build a ship for a magical journey to find this place himself.
Absolutely stunning! Exquisite illustrations you can lose and find yourself in coupled with a beautiful story for the heart.

The youngest Penderwick, Lydia, stars in this finale to the beloved classic series that has filled us with hours of reading joy. What better ending is there than a new beginning for the eldest Penderwick sister as the family returns to the Arundel estate, where the series began, for her wedding? Totally charming with heart-exploding goodness that will leave you longing for Birdsall to create a spinoff series. We hope she does!
