The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: Book V
The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: Book V: The Unmapped Sea | Maryrose Wood
8 posts | 14 read | 5 to read
For fans of Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events and Trenton Lee Stewart's Mysterious Benedict Society, here comes the fifth book in the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place, the acclaimed and hilarious Victorian mystery series by Maryrose Wood. Lord Fredrick Ashton may not feel ready to be a father, but with a little Ashton on the way, he's sure about one thing: The wolfish curse on his family must end soon, before the child is born. Penelope willingly takes on the challenge; when Lady Constance's doctor prescribes a seaside holiday, Penelope jumps at the chance to take the three Incorrigible children to Brighton, where she hopes to persuade the old sailor Pudge to reveal what he knows about the Ashton curse. But the Ashtons are not the only ones at the beach in January. The passionately temperamental Babushkinov family is also taking the winter waters. The Incorrigible children may have been raised by wolves, but the Babushkinov children are the wildest creatures they've ever seen. Is it more than mere coincidence that these untamed children have turned up in Brighton just as Penelope and the Incorrigibles arrive?

Has anyone else read this series? I only have two books left, and I really love them! One reviewer described it as "Jane Eyre meets Lemony Snicket," which I thought was actually really fitting ?

I‘m nearing the end of this series, and I‘m loving it more and more after each book. Book Five features the Incorrigible children and their resourceful governess at Brighton, with more puzzle pieces to various mysteries coming together and an ending that makes you want to grab book six quickly! There‘s a blurb at the top of the cover that says this is a cross between Jane Eyre and Lemony Snicket - so true!

I really enjoy the Incorrigible Children books. They‘re hilarious & delightful (especially the audiobooks!), and I enjoy how each one gradually reveals more of the mystery surrounding Penelope & the Incorrigibles. Each book walks the line of being a little too ridiculous & over-the-top; this one, for me, really was too over-the-top. I wasn‘t fond of the newest characters in this volume, but I‘m interested to see how it wraps up in the final book.

I finished my first book for #TwoinThree, although I kind of cheated, since I only had about 75 pages left. This series is absolutely delightful!

Samplergal Not cheating! You finished a book, which is exactly the purpose! Yay you! 6y

I just finished the 5th book in the series! Now I have to wait until June for the 6th and final book to be released! I can‘t wait to find out what happens, since this one left off on a great cliffhanger. #MiddleGradeMay

This series has me hooked. The fifth book finally resolved some of the Ashton family mysteries before leaving us with a major cliff hanger and the final book yet to be published! Counting the days...

The Incorrigibles will keep me company on the long drive to Anacortes. Love this series, love these audiobooks.
