The Unseen Guest is the third book in the series. Some things I enjoy and some things I tolerate. The books have a somewhat patronizing tone - I think this is intentional, though. It is simply part of the voice of the books. The idea is interesting enough and prods many questions: How did the wolf children survive in the woods of Ashton Place for so long? Where are governess Penelope's parents? Who is hunting for the children and why? Lots of puns, lists of synonyms, light-hearted banter. But, I should point out to parents that this volume includes a séance, so if you're not wanting to lead your children into such territory, stay out of the environs of Ashton Place. Unsure if I will continue.
