For fans of Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events and Trenton Lee Stewart's Mysterious Benedict Society comes the fourth book in the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place, the acclaimed and hilarious Victorian mystery series by Maryrose Wood.
In The Interrupted Tale, Miss Penelope Lumley receives an invitation to speak at the annual Celebrate Alumnae Knowledge Exposition (or CAKE) at the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females. Optoomuchstic as ever, Penelope hopes to give her CAKE talk, see some old friends, and show off the Incorrigible children to Miss Mortimer, but instead she finds her beloved school in an uproar.
And when Penelope is asked by the Swanburne Academy board of trustees to demonstrate the academic progress of her three wolfish students so the board can judge the true worth of a Swanburne education, the future of her alma mater--and of her job as governess to the Incorrigibles--hangs in the balance.
- A Determined Governess: Miss Penelope Lumley loves her alma mater, but to save it from a mysterious new board of trustees, she'll have to prove that her unconventional teaching methods actually work.
- Found Family: Can three clever children who were raised by wolves learn their lessons, mind their manners, and demonstrate the value of a Swanburne education when it matters most?
- Hilarious Victorian Adventure: With a witty, Lemony Snicket-style narrator and a cast of eccentric characters, this historical fiction for kids is filled with laughs and secrets.
- A School in Peril: The Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females is in an uproar, and Penelope must uncover the truth before the school is changed forever.
