What a surprise! I figured this would be a decent three star book; worth reading but nothing really memorable. I was even prepared to sigh at the idea of badly behaving children giving their governess trouble. Nope, this is not that book. This is the book where a girl with her own mysterious past ...
Such a nice blend of light and clever, thoughtful and fun. It was both a bit more and a bit less than what I was expecting.
