The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: Book IV

The Interrupted Tale

By: Maryrose Wood

Narrated by: Katherine Kellgren

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

In The Interrupted Tale, Miss Penelope Lumley receives an invitation to speak at the annual Celebrate Alumnae Knowledge Exposition (or CAKE) at the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females. Optoomuchstic as ever, Penelope hopes to give her CAKE talk, see some old friends, and show off the Incorrigible children to Miss Mortimer, but instead she finds her beloved school in an uproar.

And when Penelope is asked by the Swanburne Academy board of trustees to demonstrate the academic progress of her three wolfish students so the board can judge the true worth of a Swanburne education, the future of her alma mater—and of her job as governess to the Incorrigibles—hangs in the balance.

THE BEST! YOU HAVE TO READ IT!!!!! I can’t stop listening. I need to read the rest or I will go crazy. Great for family’s

My dauther is hooked on this series

My daughter loves solving the mysteries throughout the storyline. The narrator is fantastic and engages her in the plot. She makes listening a pleasure.

ANOTHER NEW FAVORITE!

I love coming across new authors that become new friends. I have really enjoyed these book and hope that Ms. Wood writes many many more!

We love it!

My daughter and I are loving this series. This is the best one so far! Ms. Kellgren gives a phenomenal performance of each and every character.

I like the idea of the series but goodness!

It's a nice series but the mystery just continues to draw out in a way that makes you want to quit listening versus remain engaged. If I was reading instead of listening I would have given up after the second book. The governess is supposed to be educated and clever but in this one she's depicted as insufferably dimwited for far too much of the story.

This series is fantastic

Yet another great Ashton book. Really fun to read with your tween. If you liked A Series of Unfortunate Events you will love this. I think it's really better. The writing is so sharp and the reader is amazing. I think she is truly amazing. High Marks!!!

This is a great series for middle school students

Would you consider the audio edition of The Interrupted Tale to be better than the print version?

Both are great

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Interrupted Tale?

The howling children and their insistence to refer to the founder of Swanburn Academy as the flounder. The two pink chickens were also great.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

My granddaughter and I listen to this book in the car and laughed and laughed often.

Any additional comments?

Start at the beginning of this series and enjoy a great time listening to the unwinding tale.

Quite extraordinary

This story is a fabulous combination of whit, wordplay, and just plain good storytelling. Fun for the whole family. The saga continues but the final answers remain out of grasp.

Love it!

Such a fun read!, Excellent narration, engaging storyline, adorable characters, exciting plot, educational tidbits. Love this series!
