What Will the Castle Do Next?

Castle Glower has always decided who the next reigning king will be. It simply moves the future king’s room next to the throne room. That’s because Castle Glower has a life and magic all its own. If it likes you, it might make your room more comfortable or move you to a desirable location in the castle. If it doesn't like you, then it may make your furniture smaller or it could order the doors in your room to disappear. Any number of things could happen! That's why Princess Celie has been spending so much time mapping the ever changing palace. So many people get lost because things are constantly shifting, luckily the castle always helps her get where she's going. Everyone agrees that the castle likes her best. Celie’s father, King Glower the seventy-ninth, has been king for a while, and his son, Rolf, is next in line to the thrown (thanks to the castle moving his room). When her oldest brother graduates from wizarding school her parents leave to attend, and everything changes. After they are believed to be dead, Rolf must take over his position as the new king, but many other people want this position as well. Who will the castle choose? Can the two main king contenders who come to the castle be trusted? What will happen when a spell is cast? You must read this exciting adventure to find out what happens!

I have wanted to read Tuesday's at the Castle by Jessica Day George since I first saw the cover. It looked enchanting, and I was intrigued to find out what the story was about. I loved the idea of rooms that change and grow in a castle that was full of surprises. The main character, Princess Celie, is so kind and clever that I felt like I knew her. She would be such fun to be friends with! Celie’s love for the castle came through and made me want to explore the passageways with her. The atlas she's creating sounds like a lot of work, but it's also a smart idea. The story was full of magic, suspense, and characters that kept me reading on to find out what would happen next. I'd recommend this book to kids in grades third and up who love fantasy and who imagine a world where anything is possible. This is my first book by this author, but I look forward to reading more of her books. I'll definitely be reading the next story in the series.

Has anyone else read Tuesdays at the Castle? Or have you read a book by Jessica Day George? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Happy Reading!

Answer to Monday's Riddle: A Castle Keep!

Dracula's castle in Romania (Bran Castle)

Excellent guessing Riddlers! This week, we're heading into the castle. Lizzy's review will invite us in, and Friday Kristin Levine will be stopping by to tell us about her story The Lions of Little Rock, so be sure to check back! See you all around the book block. ; ) ~ F

Boasting grandeur of style and size, I'm sought after like a fabled prize. Built on grounds that stand protected, I'm the thing that gets erected. Crafted with stones piled high; my towers seem to touch the sky. I've passages to nowhere and rooms to sweep, around me runs a moat that's deep. Such a stronghold I'm know to be, that's why so many covet me. In my space there's surly a mystery, depending on who wrote my history. The kingdoms heart is the place to be, and I'm something you'll want to see!

What am I? Answer: A Castle!
