Penelope is so brave and confident even at a young age she is a great roll model for all girls. She puts on a brave face and fearlessly ventures out into life as a governess only to be surprised to find her students are three siblings who were found being raised by wolfs!! Although the Ashton estate and family is surrounded by mystery, Penelope does her best to teach her pupils and look deeper into the mysteries surrounding her.

I heard about the series from the Read-aloud Revival Podcast. I quickly blazed through the series and even as an adult I loved them. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. We do lots of read alouds for our homeschool and all my children, from the teens to the four year old enjoyed this series. The writing is witty and refreshing, interesting enough for even adults to be kept interested. We read all four so far, and can hardly wait for the next one to be released this year. She is off to her first interview as a governess, excited about her new charges and curious about the advertisements indication for experience with animals.

In her interview, Lady Constance quickly hires her and has her sign a contract. Much to her surprise, her charges are 3 feral children found in the woods and apparently raised by wolves. They have been named by Lord Frederick as Alexander,Beowulf, and Cassiopeia, ranging in age from about 4 or 5 to about 10 for Alexander. They have been kept in the barn, and Penelope quickly sets out to befriend them and move them to better quarters. With the help of her favorite series of books and some good food from Cook, she begins the process of educating the children.

She must use her problem solving skills to solve issues such as squirrel chasing, and while she works to teach the children, she puzzles over how they ended up in the woods. When she is asked to have the children ready for a big party, Penelope does her best, even though she worries that the children may not be quite ready for such an endeavor. She uses the wisdom of Agatha Swanburne to help guide her and adds a few choice sayings of her own along the way. This is a delightful start to the series, and will definitely be enjoyed by fans of Lemony Snicket and Roald Dahl. I knew before I started it that this book was "to be continued.

Delicious, by the way. For another thing, the cliches are going to be above the heads of the under-6th-grade set. They will "get" the wonderful caperings of the children-raised-by-wolves, but they will miss some of the story. There is a lot of irony in it, and it would help readers to be familiar with the "innocent girl going to mysterious English country manor" genre. It's more juvenile than "Rebecca" or "Jane Eyre," but it is so much less dark. As a parent, it's a hoot. The narrative asides to explain literary terms are not as aggravating as "Desperaux" and not as snide as "Lemony Snicket" -- I think she hits the right note, but maybe overuses the format.

It's a great book. I sure hope Part II clears up the mysteries: I am absolutely going to read this to my family. It is just such a great story, and the cliched heroine is a pleasure to read, and the feral children!
