Quick Summary
Miss Penelope, a governess trained at The Wonder of Beavers Butterfliesful Fluffy Little Squishyly weird Swanburne Academy, takes her three wonderfully wild Incorrigible Children to London where they uncover a centuries-old family curse hiding in secret rooms. Kids will adore the spot-on comedic dialogue, the perfectly potty-mouthed (in a Victorian way) banter between the children, and the satisfying way clues drop like breadcrumbs through the grand old English manor. If your kid loves the tongue-in-cheek humor and mystery of Lemony Snicket or the spunky heroines in Enola Holmes, they'll be absolutely smitten with this series. Perfect for kids in grades 4 through 6 who enjoy clever mysteries with a spooky twist and laugh-out-loud family dynamics.
