Download The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: Book III Audiobook

" I love the satire and cleverness in these books. Penelope Lumley is a great heroine. I wonder if an 8-12 year old would have the appreciation for the satire aspect of the story. I would hope so. It's the most enjoyable part! "

" Fun and Quarky! I didn't realize I was reading #3, though! I will have to go back and read the other 2. "

" Another entertaining yarn from Maryrose Wood and the Incorrigible Children! I did enjoy this Colonial-era romp to Parts Unknown, though it does show some signs of being a bridge from the first part of the series to what lies ahead. It was still well worth the read and I'll be looking forward to the next installment! "

" Still very funny and well-done. The reader is amazing. I've heard the hard copies have illustrations, but even with that, I can't imagine it being more fun than he audiobook. I liked seeing more of the mystery revealed, and all of the Lemony Snicket-esque asides were great. "

" The Incorrigible children--Alexander, Beowulf, and Cassiopeia--are back! Along with their plucky young governess Miss Penelope Lumley, the Incorrigibles return to Ashton Place after a brief (and colorful) stint in London. But things are about to get exciting here too. Lord Fredrick's long-estranged mother, the Widow Ashton, decides to visit on the spur of the moment. The Widow is unsure whether to marry Admiral Faucet (pronounced "Fa-say"!) and wants to consult her son about what she should do. Admiral Faucet is a seasoned world traveler. His latest destination was Africa, where he bought a none too bright but extremely fast ostrich named Bertha. It is the Admiral's intention, with the helpful assistance of Widow Ashton's money, to start up an ostrich racing business and make a fortune. However, when Bertha escapes into the dense woods surrounding Ashton Place, it's up to the Incorrigibles (and their governess) to track her down. But once the children go back into the woods, the place in which they were raised for so many years, will they want to come back out? This was a really fun story and a great addition to the series. It's just as funny and clever as the other books, filled with wild shenanigans and unexpected turns of events. But be warned: Wood obviously plans to continue the series indefinitely and only teases you with answers to the ever-increasing mysteries in the books. Patience, grasshopper. "

" I think I liked this one the best of the series, but are these really children's books? Too many spoilers to argue the point. This one had the funniest asides and the most adventure of the series thus far. I am just sad there are more to come, as I want to read more, but fear my patience with a series ends at three. Oh well, bring on number 4! "

" I just love these witty, easy to read books. It's like Nanny McPhee meets Series of Unfortunate Events style. I love her style of writing and the little facts the author puts in to tie it all together. "

" The kids and I finished listening to this book, and once again, we enjoyed the storytelling immensely! The different voices for the characters and the miscellaneous noises/howlings going on - great fun! The kids liked the POE and PIE and had fun creating their own acronyms. And, we enjoyed the lesson on synonyms. "

" I'm losing steam on this one, but hoping the next one brings me back. "

" So good. However, these books raise way more questions then they answer. The children have a chance to visit their old home and an unexpected visitor shows up at Ashton Place. "

" 4.5 stars. So, so clever, both for adults and children. "

" Humorous. Cute. Fun to read. Mystery. Wonderful protagonist. Lovely. Recommended. "

" This entry in the series lags a bit behind the first two, but still enjoyable. It is getting a bit aggravating more answers haven't been revealed thus far. "

" This is a clever series, but it feels too clever and even a little smug. Also, you've got to throw your readers a bone every once in a while and provide some answers. "

" love it on audio. love it. "

" Love this series! Smart, funny, well-written. The audio books are very well done, too. Highly recommended for age 9 and up. "

" Fun, although this felt a *bit* like a placeholder in the series. Only a couple of new facts in the mystery were revealed, and I'm getting impatient to get on with it already!!! "

" Great book for kids and interesting for adults. "

" Anxiously awaiting book four, as we have all enjoyed this charming series of audiobooks so much. Cassowoooof! "

" The series continues and does not disappoint. All the major players are back with a few new faces thrown mixed in including an ostrich! "

" Yet again, another delightful adventure for Penelope and the children. Ms. Wood still leaves you hanging at the end of the book, and so we will have to wait for book IV. "

" The style of writing is what makes this book so mich fun. Can't wait for more. "

" This is the best one yet. I can't think of a more effective combination of humor and genuine creepiness. Both a parody of and a great example of the gothic novel. "

" Really enjoyed this. My blog review here. "

" I love, love, love these books. "

" Cute as always, if maybe suffering a tiny bit from middle book syndrome. So many mysteries! but so little actually resolved. Lots of set-up for the future. Which I'll certainly listen to, because I do love these characters. "
