Great fun, and it wouldn’t be optoomuchstic to expect more to come.” - Kirkus Reviews Product Details fans of the first book will be happy to go along for the madcap ride.” - School Library Journal Two of his picture books have been named Caldecott Honor books: Sam and Dave Dig a Hole and Extra Yarn (winner of the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award), both by Mac Barnett. He is the New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of several books, including I Want My Hat Back and This Is Not My Hat, for which he won the Caldecott Medal. Jon Klassen grew up in Niagara Falls, Canada, and now lives in Los Angeles, California. Maryrose's other qualifications for writing these tales include a scandalous stint as a professional thespian, many years as a private governess to two curious and occasionally rambunctious pupils, and whatever literary insights she may have gleaned from living in close proximity to a clever but disobedient dog. This process of fabrication is fully permitted under the terms of the author's Poetic License, which is one of her most prized possessions. These books may be considered works of fiction, which is to say, the true bits and the untrue bits are so thoroughly mixed together that no one should be able to tell the difference. 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.Maryrose Wood is the author of the first five books (so far!) in this series about the Incorrigible children and their governess. So while Ashton Place is being restored, Penelope, the Ashtons, and the children take up residence in London.
Yet the Incorrigibles are not entirely civilized, and still managed to ruin Lady Constance's Christmas ball, nearly destroying the grand house. And for the most part, they resist the urge to chase squirrels up trees. Thanks to their plucky governess, Miss Penelope Lumley, Alexander, Beowulf, and Cassiopeia are much more like children than wolf cubs now. 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.
