Review Detail

Reader reviewed by P.G. Sherrie

Joan Aiken creates a classic children's book in her first installment of her wolves trilogy.  The Wolves of Willoughby Chase expertly intertwines enough intrigue and excitement with the backdrop of a wolf-ridden, eighteenth-century, England.  I eagerly followed Bonnie through the trials she faced when she was left in the care of Mrs. Slighcarp while her parents are away. In parts Cinderella, A Little Princess, and Nancy Drew, Aiken creates an unforgettable plot, relatable characters, and an ultimately enjoyable read.
