The Unseen Guest

by Maryrose Wood Narrated by Katherine Kellgren

Overview

The third book in the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place-the acclaimed and hilarious Victorian mystery series by Maryrose Wood, perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Trenton Lee Stewart-has a brand-new look.

Since returning from London, the three Incorrigible children and their plucky governess, Miss Penelope Lumley, have been exceedingly busy. When Lord Fredrick's long-absent mother arrives with the noted explorer, Admiral Faucet, gruesome secrets tumble out of the Ashton family tree. And when the Admiral's prized racing ostrich gets loose in the forest, it will take all the Incorrigibles' skills to find her.

The hunt for the runaway ostrich is on. But Penelope is worried. Once back in the wild, will the children forget about books and poetry, and go back to their howling, wolfish ways? What if they never want to come back to Ashton Place at all?

Editorial Reviews

JUNE 2012 - AudioFile

Katherine Kellgren is spot-on as governess Penelope Lumley continues her efforts to "domesticate" the wolf-raised Incorrigible children. Sounding more like an ensemble than a single narrator, Kellgren is as adept at handling the swashbuckling voice of famous explorer Admiral Faucet as she is at the throaty barks and growls of the Incorrigibles, who still occasionally revert to the language of their upbringing. She handles a variety of British accents—from the Cockney speech of the servants of Ashton Place to the haughty tones of the lords and ladies who frequent it. Her fast-paced narration is flawless. It not only adds to the comedic effect but is perfectly suited for young listeners. M.D. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award, 2013 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
