"In this 3rd volume in the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series, the three wolfish Incorrigibles are finally overcoming their animal ways, thanks to their clever teenage governess Penelope. But the arrival of the scheming Admiral Faucet (pronounced "faw-say," thank you very much) and the search for a missing ostrich puts not only the childrens' progress, but also the children themselves in jeopardy. Fans won't be disappointed in this "deliciously melodramatic Victorian mystery" (Kirkus Reviews) brimming with juicy clues, witty wordplay, and sly humour. Looking for more bright, plucky Victorian heroines like Penelope? Check out the Enola Holmes series by Nancy Springer."
