About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with questions of identity, feeling like an outsider, or navigating the bittersweet transition of moving on from a group or family they love. As the final installment in The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series, it provides a deeply satisfying conclusion for kids who value loyalty and the idea that family is defined by those who care for us. The story follows Miss Penelope Lumley and her three formerly wild pupils as they finally uncover the truth of their origins. While it concludes a long-running mystery, the core themes of self-actualization and belonging are universal. It is intellectually stimulating with rich Victorian vocabulary and witty humor, making it an excellent choice for children who enjoy clever wordplay and historical settings.
