The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: Book VI

The Long-Lost Home

De: Maryrose Wood

Narrado por: Fiona Hardingham

For fans of Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events and Trenton Lee Stewart's Mysterious Benedict Society, here comes the final book in the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place, the acclaimed and hilarious Victorian mystery series by Maryrose Wood.

Unhappy Penelope Lumley is trapped in unhappy Plinkst! Even the beets for which Plinkst is inexplicably famous fail to grow in this utterly miserable Russian village. Penelope anxiously counts the days and wonders how she will ever get back to England in time to save all the Ashtons—who, she now knows, include herself and the Incorrigible children, although their precise location on the family tree is still a mystery—from their accursèd fate.

Her daring scheme to escape sends her on a wildly unexpected journey. But time is running out, and the not-really-dead Edward Ashton is still on the loose. His mad obsession with the wolfish curse on the Ashtons puts Penelope and the Incorrigibles in dire peril. As Penelope fights her way back to her beloved pupils, the three brave Incorrigibles endure their gloomy new tutor and worriedly prepare for the arrival of Lady Constance’s baby. Little do they know the danger they’re in!

In this action-packed conclusion to the acclaimed series, mysteries are solved and long-lost answers are found. Only one question remains: Will Penelope and the Incorrigibles find a way to undo the family curse in time, or will the next full moon be their last?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Fiona Hardingham narrates the final Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place audiobook with exuberance, charm, and impeccable timing.... Hardingham deftly incorporates a wide range of accents and voices, including those of chilling villains, distracted fathers, and ridiculous ladies of leisure. Listeners will be completely engaged by her comedic timing, which adds piquancy to Wood's witty repartee and over-the-top puns. A thoroughly satisfying conclusion and delightful listen for all ages."

so wonderful!

if you have enjoyed each audio of these story, be sure to listen to the dedication at tbe end. It beautiful!

Exceptionally creative, engaging, intelligently and kindly humorous series

Thank you to Mary Rosewood for the effort, energy, and focus you expended in writing this series. You infused the characters and stories with such friendliness and inclusivity that the reader, or listener, is inspired to come along on your imaginative adventures. Making many dear friends along the way

As a teacher I hypothesize that you made, and still make, learning fun, and lessons of all kinds memorable. Often I found myself smiling as i listened to Katie perform your works. She is so missed. Thank you to Fiona, who stepped into some pretty big shoes, you filled them well.

Writing maybe lonely work, yet i trust you feel rewarded and gratified knowing how you uplift your readers, and open the world to those willing to open your books, and join you.

Great book!!

Great Book!! The performance was okay I miss Katherine I love her voice and love for the Books.

The only way I could do that was if you had to do a lot more work and I could get a lot more money for it but you have a good chance to get a little better at it so that you can do the rest and then you have more work and then I could just get

Love is a Good Book

The long awaited (in our family) conclusion of the ICOAP series was all we hoped it would be. Adventure, chases, escapes, loyalty, betrayal and love all told in the words of the inimitable Maryrose Wood and performed with care by Fiona Hardingham. Ms. Hardingham had a tough act to follow with the loss of Katherine Kellgren and she managed it with grace and heart.

The best book in the series!!!

I'm glad I followed through with the complete series! The ending was well worth it!

THE BEST BOOK SERIES CLOSER I'VE EVER READ!!!

This book is sooooo heartwarming and conclusive that i'm reading the whole series over again! It's so full of mystery and fun that it's ready to burst! Fiona Hardingham did a great job acting for Katie but NO ONE and I mean NO ONE could ever step into Katie's shoe's and act the story out the way she did.

My thanks to every person that has put effort into making this master piece including Maryrose Wood and Fiona Hardingham

Bravo!

What a wonderful conclusion to a series I have come to love! The narrator was phenomenal.

In the fantastic finale finally the mystery had been solved!

We started reading the series a little over a year ago and fell in love with Penelope and the Incorrigible children. Me and my 12 year old son enjoyed all 6 books. He said, “They were very exciting and dramatic.” At first I was disappointed that Katherine was not narrating book 6. When I discovered she had passed it brought tears to my eyes. In the end, as amazing as the other 5 were, book 6 was our favorite. As homeschoolers, we loved all of the homeschool references and loved the instruction of the variety of topics. I know more about ferns, wolves, proper etiquette, and the arts, to name a few. I confess I cried when it was all over, especially during credits given to Katie. I highly recommend this book and the series to anyone. You will fall in love.
