This book makes me want to reread Frankenstein. Gripping and I finished it within two days, which is probably a record for me in the past few months.

One of my favorite series.

This book reminded me that Miss Penelope Lumley is only 16, which I find a little hard to believe, but otherwise a satisfying continuation of the series.

The children are growing more civilized, and Penelope teaches them while daydreaming about Simon and wondering why her parents never came back for her. The mysteries continue to grow as an ostrich shows up on the grounds and then the hunt is on.

LOVE HER! So upset that LUC and ME Comic Arts Festival and my reunion are all the same weekend so I probably won't meet her :(

A faithful retelling of the original story. The characters aren't exactly how I imagined them, but I'm okay with the rendition given.
