Tuesdays at the Castle (edition 2011)

Wonderful tale. Wonderful ending. Lots of fun and adventure and suspense in a children's story tone and mood. My third Jessica Day George and I'm liking her a lot. ( )

Grades 4-6
When the king and queen of Sleyne are ambushed on a trip and presumed dead, it falls on 11-year-old Princess Celie and her older brother and sister to keep the kingdom running in the face of traitorous council members and a neighboring prince who would like to become the new ruler of Sleyne. Intrigue abounds, and the situation for the three royal siblings would be hopeless if it were not for the help of the Castle itself. Castle Glower has a history of changing itself to suit its moods (especially on Tuesdays), and adding and taking away rooms and secret passageways might just give Celie, Lilah, and Rolf the edge they need to hold on to their kingdom in spite of all the dastardly goings-on. A delightful romp with clever and engaging protagonists. ( )

Thus book really was almost perfect. For and the quarters stars. I can't wait for Wednesdays in the Tower ( )

Fun! I don't know when I've enjoyed a young main character more. Although she's only 11, she is interesting and intelligent, while not seeming too old for her age. The siblings are all fully developed characters, the relationships are believable, and the castle is great. Wondering if there are more books set in this world! ( )

Loved this book! :) ( )
