Review: This book is very exciting. It is such a page turner, you'll never stop to rest after reading a few pages. The wolves of Willoughby Chase is a book that "boils up your blood" as you are reading it. It is an adventure and a story the children who read it will never forget

Summary: A MUST for all pre-teen girls (and boys)!
Review: This was one of my favourite childhood books when I was twelve years old: the story of two cousins, supposedly orphaned and left in the hands of an evil governess and her accomplice. Through courage and bravery they manage not only to rescue themselves but also the loyal friends the meet along their journey. As a child I enjoyed this exciting book a lot, rereading it againand again. As a parent I love the book because it covers those impoartant morals of friendship and loyalty, personal chourage and shows good versus evil (yes, black and white, but it is a children's book after all). For those reasons I recommended this book for our mother-daughter-book-club.

Summary: A Dickensian adventure
Review: The cast may be small, but there's an aura to this juvenile classic, the first in Aiken's long series, that reminds us of Charley D. at his best. In what seems to be pre-Victorian England, Bonnie Green, daughter of Sir Willoughby Green, the Squire of Willoughby Chase, is to be left in the care of a governess, Miss Slighcarp, while her parents go on a voyage abroad to restore her mother's health. Her orphaned cousin Sylvia comes from London to keep her company. What neither girl knows is that Miss Slighcarp has an agenda, and it doesn't bode well for them. With the help of Bonnie's loyal maid Pattern, the good footman James, and Bonnie's young friend Simon, a boy who lives in a cave in the Chase park and raises geese for sale, they manage to escape from the cruel "charity school" to which Miss Slighcarp commits them, gain the aid of a young physician and Sir Willoughby's attorney, and foil their wicked governess, and all comes right in the end. There are, however, chills and near escapes galore--an attack by wolves on a railroad train, skulkings through secret passages in the walls of the great house, and an epic journey from the industrial city of Blastburn (possibly an analog of Birmingham) to London. Bonnie, plucky and quick-tempered, and Sylvia, more retiring and ladylike, are distinct individuals and Simon is a splendid young guardian for them--and not without ambition: he has artistic talent and dreams of becoming a painter. A delightful book to read aloud or enjoy quietly, this title hasn't been OP since it first appeared, and enjoys the seal of approval of the prestigious Accelerated Reader program. Every family should own a copy.
