The second book in the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place--the
acclaimed and hilarious Victorian mystery series by Maryrose Wood,
perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Trenton Lee Stewart--has a
brand-new look.
Thanks to their plucky governess, Miss Penelope Lumley, Alexander,
Beowulf, and Cassiopeia are much more like children than wolf cubs now.
They are accustomed to wearing clothes. They hardly ever howl at the
moon. And for the most part, they resist the urge to chase squirrels up
trees.
Yet the Incorrigibles are not entirely civilized, and still managed to
ruin Lady Constance's Christmas ball, nearly destroying the grand house.
So while Ashton Place is being restored, Penelope, the Ashtons, and the
children take up residence in London. As they explore the city, Penelope
and the Incorrigibles discover more about themselves as clues about the
children's--and Penelope's own--mysterious past crop up in the most
unexpected ways....
