Commentary During Books The Hidden Gallery (The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place #2)

Thanks to their plucky governess, Miss Penelope Lumley, Alexander, Beowulf, and Cassiopeia are much more like children than wolf cubs now. They are accustomed to wearing clothes. They hardly ever howl at the moon. And for the most part, they resist the urge to chase squirrels up trees.

Yet the Incorrigibles are not entirely civilized, and still managed to ruin Lady Constance's Christmas ball, nearly destroying the grand house. So while Ashton Place is being restored, Penelope, the Ashtons, and the children take up residence in London. 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...

Evaluation About Books The Hidden Gallery (The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place #2)

There is an undeniable charm about Maryrose Wood's odd tales of the three Incorrigible children who were literally raised by wolves until they were rescued by a wealthy British lord Frederick Ashton and placed under the loving if sometimes flustered care of Miss Penelope Lumley, lately graduated from Swanbourne Academy for Poor Bright Females. I love the quirky humor, the witty wisdom from all those Agatha Swanbourne quotes, and Penelope's vibrant spirit. The Victoriana is a delight, too. This

I enjoyed The Mysterious Howling enough to continue on to this book; I may read the third but I'm starting to lose interest! This book in particular felt repetitive, 3/4 of the way through I felt like I would barf if I heard one more quote or reference to Agatha Swanburne. The relationship between the children and Penelope is still really endearing and fun; overall I would not hesitate to recommend this series to a middle-grade reader.

It seems odd to say that a book I read in a couple hours dragged, but The Hidden Gallery did. The story itself, a continuation of The Mysterious Howling, should have been lively enough, but Wood's Lemony Snickett-esque explanations seemed intrusive here, slowing the pace rather than providing comic relief or enhancing the mood of the story. In fact, dragging the story out seems to be the main objective in the series. I would have found it more enjoyable to have the "mysteries" introduced in The

In the last installment, Ashton Place was left in ruins thanks to The Incorrigibles and their new pet squirrel, Nutsawoo. This one picks up a month or so after. As repairs are still underway, Lady Ashton gets the bright idea (of course, after it was mentioned to her by Miss Lumley) to temporarily move everyone into a London townhouse. This presents plenty of opportunity for educashawoo excursions for Miss Lumley and The Incorrigibles as well as social opportunities for Lady Ashton. Or so, thats

I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS SERIES. If you mixed the style of Series of Unfortunate Events with the spirit of Anne of Green Gables and the setting of Jane Eyre, with a good bit of British wit and humor thrown in for good measure, the Incorrigibles are what you'd get.Also would 10/10 recommend the audiobooks read by Katherine Kellgren, she is a genius!

Although I like the writing of these books, there is something ultimately unsatisfying in the plot. I don't mind the mysterious referrals to hidden identities, etc. and the gradual revealing of clues to the past. But each book itself doesn't have a main plot or climax. The first one was "we had a Christmas party and things went terribly wrong." This book is basically "we went to London and things went terribly wrong, but we are becoming aware that something strange is going on behind the

Err yes please, this book was amazing. If I take a step back I see how the plotline is unorthodox and surely, the unanswered questions still left from The Mysterious Howling (#1) and the many more mysteries introduced in this book would leave me unsatisfied. But the thing is, this read was so far from unsatisfying it's laughable to even consider. Penelope is one of the most wonderful main characters ever. Her consideration, pluck, brains and ability to re-focus are admirable, and I do admire her
