About This Book
Wicked wolves and a grim governess threaten Bonnie and her cousin Sylvia when Bonnie's parents leave Willoughby Chase for a sea voyage. Left in the care of the cruel Miss Slighcarp, the girls can hardly believe what is happening to their once happy home. The servants are dismissed, the furniture is sold, and Bonnie and Sylvia are sent to a prison-like orphan school. It seems as if the endless hours of drudgery will never cease. With the help of Simon the gooseboy and his flock, they escape. But how will they ever get Willoughby Chase free from the clutches of the evil Miss Slighcarp?

A clever, mistreated child faces a domineering adult who abuses her power, much as Miss Slighcarp terrorises the girls, and the story turns on wit and defiance.
The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events)
Lemony Snicket
Three orphans are passed to a villainous guardian and face one misfortune after another, with the same wry narrator tone and mix of peril and humour that Aiken's readers enjoy.

A girl in an alternative early-1900s Russia gets caught up in the care of wolves, offering the same gripping wolf-filled danger and daring rescue that drive The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.
