The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: The Hidden Gallery by Maryrose Wood

children's 1 Minute

The second book in this children’s series is just as delightful as the first.  The three children who were raised by wolves are now going to head to London.  In London, they get up to all sorts of trouble, but luckily, their plucky governess, Penelope Lumley, manages to smooth things over.  I felt as though the first book in the series was full of mystery and that we would find out some answers in this book.  But, alas, that was not the case.  We are merely given more clues to the mysteries without gaining any answers.  I am wondering how long Wood plans to stretch this series on for.  I am already a little frustrated, but I might read the next book.  It is a definite win for people who like the Lemony Snicket books.
