The Interrupted Tale, by Maryrose Wood
4.0
With each installment in her Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series, Maryrose Wood raises the stakes. This time it's Swanburne Academy itself on the line -- much to my dismay! Our plucky Penelope must give a speech to save the day, but can she accomplish everything she must do in time?
[***POSSIBLE SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT***]
Of course she can! Our beloved Simon is back, as well as dear friend Cecily and many other distinguished Swanburne alumnae. We have the great pleasure of meeting some of the Swanburne instructors, and the frequently dubious pleasure of encountering its Board of Trustees -- headed up by Judge Quinzy, who Penelope firmly believes (with mounting proof) is, in fact, Edward Ashton. Lord Frederick takes a turn for the worse, and eventually a turn for the better; so too does his wife, Lady Constance.
And while some mysteries are solved, others merely deepen. I say this every time, but I CAN'T WAIT for the next installment in the series!
