Summary: Castle In The Attic
Review: I liked this book because it was sort of scary. It was sort of scary because of when William and Sir Simon were in the woods trying to get to Alastor's castle, but then Sir Simon went off the path and left William alone in the spooky woods.My favorite character is Mrs.Philips

Summary: Castle in the attic reveiw
Review: I loved this book when I was about eight years old, and looking back on it, it's easy to see why: William, the main character, is a gymnast (just as I was) who's rather shy and reserved (just as I was) but manages, when it's important, to help the people around him. He's immensely sympathetic and compelling, and though the familiar fantasyland and evil-wizard-ruling-a-faux-medieval-kingdom plotline hold few surprises for adult readers familiar with the conventions of the genre, it surprised and excited me as a kid.

Re-reading it recently, I found it didn't hold up as well as some of my favorite books from when I was younger (such as Madeleine L'Engle's A Ring of Endless Light), but it holds up better than many; this is a strong book for both children and for adults. I have a hard time imagining a more perfect book for bed-time reading.

Summary: A reading pleasure!
Review: I loved this book! E. W. has created an amazing world of castles, knights, dragons, and much more. It is a new and exciting idea of a castle and a knight and even a whole world coming to life for William. My favorite idea behind the book is that when William is in the castle, he can not see his attic. His world had dissapeared. The idea of being in another world in the castle is thrilling! I reccomend this book to readers of all ages! Also be sure to read *Battle for the Castle* , the sequel to *Castle in the Attic*!

Summary: The Castle In the Attic/Tinkwinke
Review: I read a great book it is called the Castle In the Attic. This book was writen by Elizabeth Winthrope. Its about a boy named Willam who has a nana named Ms.Phillips she is really close to Willam because she has lived with him sence he was born. But she is going back to live in Egland with her brother but Willam dosen't want her to go. So he takes away her favorite thing that she wants to be buried with. A pictureher of her husband who died in the war. but he gives it back. then she says she has a surprise for him! Thats when he gets the caastle. Then something cool happens the toy Knight comes to life. Then thats were he gets an idea. The Knight says he was shrnk and thats how he got small from a wizerd named Alester. The Knight also stole Alester sinking tolken that shunk him. Then he gets an idea to shink her and keep her in the castle with the Knight. But he's not sure if he should shink her. I won't tell you what he does because it would give away the ending. I think it is a good book because you want to know what happens. On a scale from one to five I would give it a four.This book was published in 1981 so its kind of old but still a good book. In this book he changes by after he makes hes dison on shinking her but he changes by getting wiser. I think you should read this book!
