This delightful cross between Jane Austen and Lemony Snickett may not appeal to all kids, but will certainly be appreciated by those who enjoy dry British humor (although author Maryrose Wood is actually a New Yorker and not a Brit). This opening story of 15-year-old governess Penelope Lumley and her three charges sets the stage for many further adventures. Although the three siblings in Miss Lumley's care have been raised by wolves and only recently brought into the "civilized" world, it quickly becomes clear that a mansion and nice clothes do not a civilized society make, and that the children are not the true beasts of this tale.

We enjoyed this audiobook. There are quite a few unanswered questions designed to pull the reader to book 2.

It was very nice and it had some tense moments but not so much as to say it was tense.
