The Castle in the Attic

Summary: An Amazing Book
Review: "The Castle in the Attic" is an AMAZING book, especially if you like adventurous, suspenseful books with happy endings. William seems so real, the way he's both good and bad. The creativity (Alaster, the magic tokens) is stunning. If you love this book, be sure and read the sequel "The Battle for the Castle".

Review: A Great Book

The Castle in the Attic is an exciting, thrilling, and action-packed book. Mrs. Phillips gives William a castle. He gets a led knight to go with the castle. The knight comes to life. He and William go to save the people in the castle that were turned to stone. It is a thrilling book because William has to go through the forest with Sir Simon the knight and he gets lost. It is an action-packed book because when William finally finds his way to the castle he has to kill the dragon. Then he has to destroy Alisdor the evil king. I think you should read this book because it will make you want to read more books about long ago.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: Don't be deceived by the relative slimness of this book-it's a fantasy classic.

The housekeeper at the home of the hero, William, has decided to leave for her native England, and as a going-away present she gives him a toy castle, and a tiny silver knight to go with it. But the knight comes with an odd toy charm, which will shrink or expand whatever creature it is used on...A wonderful, chilling sequel was written to this, "The Battle For the Castle", but sadly Ms. Winthrop has not chosen to write a third book. Let's hope she does-there are so many possibilities.

Summary: RULES IN THE WORLD OF MAGIC
Review: Genre: MINIATURE

Desperate to prevent his beloved English nanny from returning home, 10-year-old William devises a plan to shrink her unwillingly and keep her prisoner in the miniature medieval castle which she has entrusted to him as a farewell gift. Using a magic coin, he revives the Legend of the Silver Knight, who has been turned into lead by an evil wizard during England's Dark Ages..

Does this boy really possess the gentle but noble soul of a knight, one who accepts and is bound by the rites of Chivalry? His quest teaches him about honesty with his body and in other areas of his life. Will he prove worthy of courtly fellowship with Sir Simon? "There are rules in the world of magic, just as there are in our world." A fascinating and highly enjoyable read, no matter your age!

Summary: My first enjoyable read
Review: I first read this book when I was eight, and now, at 17, I still haven't forgotten it. I must have read it three times, and I loved every word of it. It sparks the imagination and it's extrememly difficult to put down. I remember staying up past midnight just to read this book (despite my parents' admonishments). I recommend it to all kids! I know I'll be reading it to my future children!
