Booklist called the series “smartly written… both fun and sprinkled with dollops of wisdom.” Charming cover and interior illustrations by Jon Klassen, author and illustrator of the New York Times bestseller I Want My Hat Back and Extra Yarn, add the perfect visual complement to the story.
A quick background of the series…
Miss Penelope Lumley has come a long way since readers were first introduced to her in Book 1, when she left the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females to become governess for three children at Ashton Place – siblings who were literally raised by wolves.
Stop by to meet the author and get acquainted with a collection of books that are sure to entertain and inspire children, incorrigible or angelic.
