The Wolves OfWilloughby Chase by Joan Aiken, 168 pages
Sylvia, poor cousin
of the Willoughby’s, is coming to stay with Bonnie while her parents are gone
on a trip. Another distant cousin, Miss
Slighcarp, will be their guardian and governess for the duration. Unfortunately, the Willoughby’s boat sinks,
leaving Bonnie as orphaned as Sylvia and soon after Miss Slighcarp shows her
true colors, sending the girls away and taking over the estate. The best part of the story is the cousins’
adventures from that point, but I love the entire story from beginning to
end. I’m a sucker for old fashioned
stories, especially about plucky heroines.
This is a great read for elementary age kids.
