Tuesdays at the Castle by Jessica Day George

Meet the castle that can build itself… and the children who will do anything to defend it!!

The Glower children are in turmoil – their parents (the king and the queen) and brother have been attacked by bandits and no one knows their whereabouts, of if indeed they’re alive. Now the castle is under seige from the inside by the Vervish Prince Khelsh.

Who can they trust…?

Princess Celie is a kind 11 year old. She is the Royal Princess of Sleyne and tries to do one of the hardest things in that mythical land: map Castle Glower. She is resourceful, brave and agile.

Castle Glower is extraordinary. It can do anything, like put walls in front of stairways, make slides down to the courtyard, put rooms in a row and much more. But can the castle survive the vicious onslaught of Khelsh who wants to take over?

Prince Khelsh is a mean, calculating, nasty, bullying, muderous person. His aim is take over the castle. Khelsh is hated by everyone, even his own dad!

It’s a really good book. Great for BookBusters. Great for anyone.

It is full of fantasy, adventure and fun.  I liked it because Halloween is my favourite day of the year.

Review by Sophie

13/5 stars!

Noah read the book Meet the Zombiesons by Knife & Parker. He liked how the  cool soccer player helped to get the two bad people.  The book has zombies and signed red t-shirt and pizza and the Dangerworld Park. He gives it 9 out of 10.

Satine and Hannah both read the Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton. They liked that every chapter ogf the book ia about a different story. They liked the characters in the book specially Moonface and Mrs. Washer.

Tomasina read Matilda by Roald Dahl and really liked it but didn’t like Mrs. Trunchbull. She was glad Matilda and Miss Honey ended up together.

Aidan read the book Cinderella. He didn’t enjoy it too much and felt it was boring.

Holly read the book and also watched the movie of Fantastic Mr. Fox. She liked both and loved how Mr. Fox was able to get out of trouble.
