![]() ![]() Have you ever moved to a new place or a new school before? How’d you feel when you found out?ĭo you like surprises? What kind of surprises do you like/do you dislike? Then there are the questions about Penny herself. How Lord Fredrick came upon these children is unclear who wants them out of Ashton Place means danger and whether there’s someone living behind the staircase wall is perplexing. Soon she has them listening to poetry and playing about with Latin, but things are not well at Ashton Place. Penny, who understands commitment, takes in stride her first introduction to her charges, with their near-naked bodies, matted hair, and indecipherable growling. That pride of place goes to Miss Penelope Lumley, their 15-year-old governess, recently graduated from the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females. Moreover, they’re not even the protagonists of the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series. For instance, these children were raised by wolves. Although Lemony Snicket’s illustrious crew does come to mind right from the start of this book, there are differences. Is any of this starting to sound familiar? Well, yes and no. *Starred Review* Three unfortunate orphans. ![]() Grade Level: 5th (GLCs: Click here for grade level guidelines.)
