The Mysterious Howling
"The Mysterious Howling" by Maryrose Wood is the first book in the series "The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place." This middle-grade novel is a delightful blend of mystery, humor, and adventure, with a touch of the gothic. The story follows the heroic and unflappable young governess, Penelope Lumley, as she is hired to teach and civilize the Incorrigible Children, a trio of wild and unruly siblings who were discovered in the woods by their wealthy guardian, Lord Ashton. The children, who are rumored to be the offspring of wolves, present a unique challenge for Penelope, who must navigate the strange and often bewildering world of Ashton Place while also unraveling the many mysteries that surround the Incorrigible Children. Wood's writing is witty and engaging, with a clever and playful use of language that will appeal to both children and adults. The characters are well-drawn and endearing, with Penelope's intelligence, determination, and compassion making her a particularly memorable and relatable protagonist. One of the strengths of "The Mysterious Howling" is its ability to balance the fantastical elements of the story with a grounded and believable setting. While the Incorrigible Children's wolf-like behavior is certainly unusual, Wood skillfully incorporates it into the larger narrative, using it to explore themes of identity, family, and what it means to be human. Overall, "The Mysterious Howling" is a charming and engaging read that will appeal to fans of classic children's literature, as well as those who enjoy contemporary middle-grade novels. Its clever plotting, memorable characters, and timeless themes make it a standout addition to any library or bookshelf.
