The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: Book I: The Mysterious Howling Audiobook

" A mysterious and Gothic tale about a young governess who takes a job caring for three children previously raised by wolves. I suspect that it would appeal in many ways to Lemony Snicket fans. [Nov. 2010] "

" Ava~I would say four stars. Abby~I would sat two stars. "

" I enjoyed this very much! I thought it was clever and well written. I thought the "asides" in it would get tiring but I found them quite charming in the end. Cute characters. "

" Lemony Snicket humor. Cute and fun to read. Penelope Lumley is a governess for three children seemingly raised by wolves. The children have many misadventures whilst Penelope tries to teach them manners and how to not ruin dinner parties with their shenanigans. "

" I thought this was a really smart book for kids-I'll really enjoy reading with Anna in a couple of years. "

" It was a cute little story "

" This book was very Jane Eyre-inspired. I loved the governess character and her stiff upper lip attitude. Not everyone would keep it together when they find they have been hired to teach children who were raised by wolves (literally). "

" Funny little werewolfs made me happy! "

" Love LOVE this book! So clever & entertaining. "

" I read this out loud with my 10 year old son and 7 year old daughter. We really enjoyed this and we plan to start the second one. "

" Fun. Kids raised by wolves become the responsibility of the new governess. "

" A funny romp of a story, with a very young governess trying to teach 3 children who have been raised by wolves. "

" This suspenseful and funny book is frustrating because it leaves the reader hanging at the end (I would have given it 4 stars otherwise). The pseudo-olde-tyme voice sounds true rather than precious and the characters are funny. "

" Katherine Kellgren does wonders with her narration of this book. An outstanding performance! (Loved her so much more than reading the book) "

" Pretty silly! Tongue-in-cheek, but fun. "

" Mysterious, but not as creepy/ghostly as I expected. Set in mid-nineteenth century England, a young governess takes on teaching 3 wild children who were possibly raised by wolves. "

" Dry humor and a clever premise . . . ! "

" A great young children's book. It would be fun as a read-aloud in a classroom or at home. "

" This book is kind of weird! But weird in a completely enjoyable way! For instance, if feral children referred to me as Lumawoo, I think I would kind of enjoy it. See what I mean? Weird in a completely enjoyable way! "

" A little slow paced for a young reader book, but an enjoyable period piece. It is very obvious the author loves Jane Eyre and wants to share time period with today's young readers. I do want to read the rest of the series! "

" I can hardly wait for the next in the series! Fun story, clever writing and great pacing. "

" This was a tween book but very cute and was read for a book club. Easy read and entertaining. The writer has a very "British" sense of humor so it was fun to read the sarcastic asides. I will definitely read on in the series. "

" What a cute little book! Very clever with sly asides to the reader. I enjoyed it and look forward to the next. "

" Great story for children-the narrator of the audio book made the story very enjoyable. "

" Loved it! It was clean, entertaining, and used lots of figurative language! "

" Darling little book that is both charming and quirky. I want an Incorrigible for my very own "

" Jane Eyre inspired? check! Awesome literary nerd-ness? Check! I'm in! "

" LOVING this from the very first paragraph. Finished and loved it! Will be recommending it to all my students and teachers! "

" Charming. That's the one way I would describe this book. "

" The word play in this YA book is amazing! An easy read but totally worth it! "

" This book was very cute. My parents read this to us so it took a while but it was worth it, I loved the the parts when the children would add wooo or woof at the ends of peoples names like nutsawooo. "
