The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: Book I: The Mysterious Howling, by Maryrose Wood
Alexander, Beowulf and Cassiopeia may have been found in the woods of Ashton Place, but under the guidance of their governess Miss Penelope Lumley, these "Incorrigible" children work hard to learn proper manners, poetry and Latin verbs. But can they curb their instinct for chasing squirrels? As a recent graduate of the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females, fifteen year-old Penelope frequently calls upon clever phrases coined by the school's namesake when teaching her three charges. The Mysterious Howling, the charming first installment of this series, will leave you hungry for more.
In the words of Miss Agatha Swanburne herself: "If it were easy to resist, it wouldn't be called chocolate cake."
