This is a Batty+Jeffery fanfiction. All you Skeffery shippers, please prepare to be converted to the Beffery fandom. But now, onto the blurb. JEFFERY TIFTON Suddenly, at that moment, Batty became more than just "Skye's little sister". She was beautiful, unique, and more precious to me than all the expensive jewels in the world. Suddenly, at that moment, my heart and my mind came to settle on one truth. I loved Batty Penderwick. BATTY PENDERWICK I had sworn off boys years ago, and now Jeffery decides to come along, la-de-da, and try to swoop me off my feet. And the thing I hated most was that I almost wanted him to.

When Jeffery finally comes back from war, the family thinks it going to be a normal visit. But when end comes to end, the penderwicks await a surprise visitor. Will Jeffery spill the secret or will they have to find out for themselves ?

Almost a year has passed since the Penderwicks visited Point Mouette, and each sister has a daunting task ahead of them. Rosalind is entering grade 9, the final stage of junior high, not to mention that she's studying to earn her learner's licence. Skye is starting grade 8, and with it comes a mountain of emotions and responsibilities. Jane's prepping herself for her first year of junior high, and Batty is just beginning grade school. However, there is a silver lining. Iantha has urgently been called to Boston, and she brings Skye, Jane and Batty with her to visit Jeffery. Rosalind stays home along with Mr. Penderwick and Ben, in order to study for her test and hopefully see Tommy. What will this summer bring for the Penderwick sisters? --- Characters are rightfully Jeanne Birdsall's. Most Penderwick fanfics focus on Skye, and her struggles with life, but this one focuses a bit more on Jane.
