4-0 out of 5 stars Drags a bit - but Leaves an Impression (Spoiler-Free).
Okay, hows this for a setup? The hugely rich Mr. Green a/k/a Sir Willoughby, his wife, his rambunctious little daughter Bonnie, and a small army or servants live in a vast mansion on grounds within a huge forest estate (a "chase") infested with ravenous man-eating wolves. The Greens have just adoped their timid orphaned neice Sylvia. No sooner has Sylvia arrived, however, when Mr. & Mrs. Green leave on a 6-month sea voyage in the hopes of benefitting the wife's ailing health. They leave the 2 girls, the servants, and the estate under the care and charge of their new governess, a distant cousin named Mrs. Slighcarp. Needless to say, Slighcarp is a villain, and she and her allies start showing their true colors the instant the Greens are out to sea. The Wolves, it seems, are not confined to the forest, and the children must beware.

It is very colorful, as well as unapologetically outrageous (man-eating wolves in snow-covered forests laying siege to railroad trains in the heart of England). However, if you are expecting a zany, silly, thrill-a-minute adventure, you may be disappointed. Aiken writes as though she takes it all dead seriously (this is, in fact, part of the appeal). There is significant attention to background and detail, much of which enhances the mood and atmosphere. She is less effective in pushing the story foreward, which progresses in fits and starts before meandering to a conclusion.

The lack of focus means, unfortunately, that there are many opportunities for the reader to lose patience and stop reading. This is a shame, for though Aiken's writings are not always compulsive page turners, she has an ability to weave memories that stay with the reader, and leave them hungry for more.

This book is the first in a series of about 11 books, which are now being called the "Wolves Chronicles". In the second book, "Black Hearts in Battersea" (another great title) it is made more explicit that they are set in an alternate-history England very different from our own.

If your child is one who tends not to finish books, I might be good to start with "Nightbirds on Nantucket" -- the third book in the series. As a child, it was "Nightbirds" that I first read all the way through. I then was sufficiently interested to go back and read "Wolves" and "Battersea" all the way through, despite having previously attempted them and put them down. This is perhaps not ideal, since it may spoil the impact of certain surprises, but it is better than not reading them at all. ... Read more
