60
The Willoughbys door Lois Lowry (_Zoe_)
_Zoe_: Both books play with the idea of the "old-fashioned" children's story and are a lot of fun.

Het bittere begin door Lemony Snicket (jfoster_sf)

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase door Joan Aiken (kaledrina)

Horton Halfpott, or, The Fiendish Mystery of Smugwick Manor, or, The Loosening of M'Lady Luggertuck's Corset door Tom Angleberger (kaledrina)

The Sixty-Eight Rooms door Marianne Malone (kaledrina)

The Ghost of Crutchfield Hall door Mary Downing Hahn (HollyMS)
HollyMS: Both are modern children's historical fiction that are heavily influenced by 19th century gothic literature.

The Aviary door Kathleen O'Dell (HollyMS)

A Drowned Maiden's Hair: A Melodrama door Laura Amy Schlitz (HollyMS)

Frost Hollow Hall door Emma Carroll (HollyMS)
HollyMS: Both are middle grade historical fiction set during the Victorian period featuring young girls who go to work in a mysterious old house :] Both Frost Hollow Hall and The Mysterious Howling have obviously been influenced by Victorian gothics.

Kamer door Emma Donoghue (_Zoe_)
_Zoe_: These books are completely different in style; The Mysterious Howling is a lighthearted children's book while Room is more serious and intended for adults. But if you enjoy the theme of a child with an unusual background being reintegrated into society, you may appreciate both of these books.… (meer)

I got this book for the kids that I tutor but when I glanced at the beginning I was hooked and ended up reading it in one sitting. The language and characters are charming, and there are some real lessons to be learned from Penelope and the wise Agatha Swanburne. The only problem with this book is that it leaves you hungry for more. I've already reserved the third book at the library... and my kids will just have to wait until I'm done reading it first! (

I found this book so charming and funny. It reminds me of Jane Eyre, which is clearly intended to do. The humor and ways in which the author talks to the reader reminds me of Lemony Snicket. I really want to read the next book, unlike many tween mystery novels, I still have some things I haven't figured out about the story and that is very exciting. (

Another Lemony Snicket-y goody! Its only shortcoming as a book is that it's the first in a series and therefore a big tease. No revelations, just setup. But really funny, smart, enjoyable setup.

It's a fantastic audiobook--I dare say possibly better than reading it because the narrator does some awesome howling. Today I kept hearing "Lumawoo" and "Cassawoof" and "Nutsawoo" in my head. So great! (

Three wolf children are found in a forest. A 15 year old governess is brought in to look after them and try and make them civilized" for the rather silly lady of the house and the strange man who is obsessed with his Almanac.
In the vein of the Lemony Snicket books this is the first in the series. (

Charming background listen for a sick day. I shall forget all about it until the next rainy day I need some sound. (
