One thing I appreciate is that the story is truly safe for children - even though But the product-tester in my house, aged seven, fell for it every time. You might think that a gag about canine children ending every word in "awoooo," like a howl, would get old after a while.
The tone of the book is perfectly balanced - warm, lyrical, and unrelentingly funny. Maryrose Wood takes her readers on a romp through the English governess genre, complete with unbearable rich people, a vast stately home (Ashton Place), and a dose of gothic intrigue in the form of a mysterious pack of children raised by wolves. This novel is terrifically entertaining, so delicious in its personalities, settings, and language that you might not notice at first how nourishing it is - packed with positive thinking and sterling character traits. The first in a new series for children chronicling the mysterious adventures of a young governess and her wild charges
