~From School Library Journal

Gr 4-6-As governess for three children raised by wolves, Penelope Lumley faces many challenges, especially when Lord Ashton's long-lost mother and explorer Admiral Faucet arrive at Ashton Place. An ostrich is loose in the woods and the children's unique tracking talents are put to the test. This leads to the mystery of the children's savage upbringing being revealed. Admiral Faucet immediately thinks of money-making schemes involving the children, ostriches, and wolves along with his plan to marry Lord Aston's mother for her money. It is up to Miss Lumley, with the help of some characters from the previous book in the series, to find a way to protect everyone involved. Katherine Kellgren narrates with different voices for each character-from the prim English accent of Miss Lumley to the screeching parrot-like voices of the wolfish children. Fans of Maryrose Wood's series will enjoy the sometimes rambunctious action, exaggerated characters, and unique humor of this book (Balzer + Bray, 2012) which ends with unsolved mysteries and the promise of more adventures.-Teresa Wittmann, Westgate Elementary, Edmonds, WAα(c) Copyright 2011.

Review

With a Snicketesque affect, Wood s narrative propels the drama pervasive humor and unanswered questions should have readers begging for more.--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

It s the best beginning since The Bad Beginning (1999) [by Lemony Snicket] and will leave readers howling for the next episode.--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Jane Eyre meets Lemony Snicket in this smart, surprising satire. Humorous antics and a climactic cliff-hanger ending will keep children turning pages and clamoring for the next volume, while more sophisticated readers will take away much more. Frequent plate-sized illustrations add wit and period flair.--School Library Journal (starred review)

How hearty and delicious...Smartly written with a middle-grade audience in mind, this is both fun and funny and sprinkled with dollops of wisdom (thank you, Agatha Swanburne). How will it all turn out? Appetites whetted. --Booklist (starred review)

Every newspaper and website in America is going to tell you that The Mysterious Howling will leave you HOWLING FOR MORE! So I'm not going to say that. But it's really good.--Adam Rex, author of The True Meaning of Smekday
