The Wolves of Willoughby Chase
By Joan AikenPublisher Description
Wicked wolves and a grim governess threaten Bonnie and her cousin Sylvia when Bonnie's parents leave Willoughby Chase for a sea voyage. Left in the care of the cruel Miss Slighcarp, the girls can hardly believe what is happening to their once happy home. The servants are dismissed, the furniture is sold, and Bonnie and Sylvia are sent to a prison-like orphan school. It seems as if the endless hours of drudgery will never cease.
With the help of Simon the gooseboy and his flock, they escape. But how will they ever get Willoughby Chase free from the clutches of the evil Miss Slighcarp?

“Strangely steampunk, without ever explicitly saying it was. It's a classic British tale of clever kids outwitting a cruel governess. The only flaw is that the ending is extremely contrived and ends on a bit too schmaltzy of a note, and all the stakes that harrowed the children throughout the book were non-existent in the first place. I like that the vicious wolves are juxtaposed with the adults who bring constant misfortune to the children, and that the title could be referring to them rather than the wolves which at some point are at least simple to understand in their motives and cruelty.”
