Long ago, at a time in history that never happened, England was overrun with wolves. But as Bonnie and her cousin Sylvia discover, real danger often lies closer to home. Their new governess, Miss Slighcarp, doesn’t seem at all nice. She shuts Bonnie in a cupboard, fires the faithful servants and sends the cousins far away from Willoughby Chase to a place they will never be found. Can Bonnie and Sylvia outwit the wicked Miss Slighcarp and her network of criminals, forgers and snitches?
BACKSTORY: Find out a few things you didn’t know about wolves and learn all about the wonderful world of the author.

I liked how the two cousins' friendship never failed. I also liked how their evil aunt finally got captured. People who like tales about mysteries would love this book.

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase was the best of the books I have read so far, aged 9 and half. My favourite part was the ending because it was so funny when Sir Willoughby was angry that his house had turned into a school. My best villain in the story was Miss Slighcarp. I would recommend this book. I want to read the sequel now!

I found it really exciting and ended up reading it in a day! I loved Simon because he was very kind and helped the girls in so many ways. I would definitely recommend this book!

Bonnie and her cousin Sylvia live in Willoughby Chase. Bonnie’s father and mother go abroad to help mother get better as she’s ill. The governess teaching them while the parents are gone is called Miss Slighcarp. She dismisses all of the servants other than the disloyal ones but pattern, Bonnie’s maid hides in the house.

Amazing!

This was a book which surprisingly was not very much about wolves but about an evil governess. My favourite character was Sylvia. I would recommend it.

it is so exiting #funfact Did you know it is sett in a parallel universe so around 1870 they were going to build the channel tunnel but gave up so the author thought what would have happened if one winter it was so cold the wolves came through the tunnel... the rest is yours to find out

I really enjoyed this book because I learnt so many interesting words! It was about two cousins who meet a mean governess named Mrs Slighcarp and her team of criminals.

I liked this book because I liked the idea of a poor child coming to live with a richer child. I also liked the part of the story where they were sent to the work house because it made the story more interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes reading books set in the past.
Fairy Petunia Racoon 21.08.2020
I would definitely recommend this book. It is about two young children-Bonnie and Sylvia and their wicked new governess Mrs Slighcarp. Bonnie and Sylvia need to outwit this horrible creature but can they do it in time?

It is a story about two girls named Sylvia and Bonnie, and they live in a massive house named Willoughby Chase. Whilst Sir Willoughby (Bonnie’s Dad) goes away abroad for her mother’s illness, Miss Slighcarp who is Sir Willoughby’s forth cousin, takes charge of the house. But her evil plan is to turn it into a boarding school and run it with her friend Mrs Brisktet the naughty owner of an Orphanage, and get loads of money for running their school, or more like beating the pupils and locking them in dungeons! Read more to find out how the two girls got their home back...

A great book with lots of intersting characters and plots. I loved the Willoughby palace and the residents until the villain arrived and chenged the peaceful place. I also enjoyed the descriptive vocabulary and the use of proper English.
