Rating: Summary: Read Castle In The Attic untill you can't read no more! Review: The Castle In The Attic by Elizabeth Winthrop is a great book for all ages. In this story William's grandma gave him her big toy castle because she is going back to England. But William shrunk her and he has to get her big again and he needs some help. I liked this book because it has action,drama, and it was a little scary. There are two messages by the auther. One is never to quit, always try again and don't do the crime if you can't do the time. If you want to find out what happens to William I suggest you pick this book up.
Rating: Summary: The Best Book Ever Review: The Castle in the Attic is full of adventure, it is thrilling, and funny. It was funny when Simon came alive. It was full of adventure when William went to defeat Alastar. It was thrilling when Alastar was turned into lead. You should read this book because it's exciting.
Rating: Summary: My favorite book Review: THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC is my favorite book of the over forty books I've written for children.Ten year old William is struggling with letting go of the people he loves such as Mrs. Phillips who has been in his nanny since he was born. To do that he has to learn that he can "spot" himself in life, just as he must do in gymnastics. It was nominated for over twenty state book awards and won in California and Vermont. Movie rights have been sold and the book is recently out in an audio tape version
Rating: Summary: This is a great book Review: The main characters are William the boy, the Silver Knight, and Mrs. Phillips {maid}.My favorite character is the Silver Knight. A good thing about this book is it has easy handwriting. I like this book because it had a lot of fantasy. I didn't like this book because it didn't have a lot of action. The book is about a 10 year old boy named William who had a maid named mrs. phillips that gave him a castle. One night, William went into the attic to play with the castle and opened the box that had the Silver Knight. The Silver Knight talked to him and william about his life. If you want to know more about the book than read the book.Here's somthing you could read. There is not much action until the end. There is a sequal. It could be better but I haven't read it. I rate this book a 4.
Rating: Summary: It was soooooooooooo COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: The reason it was so good was because when a boy goes up into the attic he finds a whole castle. And when he picks up a figure it becomes alive, and guess what he even turned into a little action figure. He has to save the day to rescue the princess from the evil knight. My favorite part was when the boy was flying an airplane and shoots out some pellets that are soft and don't hurt anyone. Then he shoots it at the evil knight on the top of the castle and the knight falls down screeming and he falls into the water and the boy, and the princess don't see him any more!
Rating: Summary: "The Castle in The Attic" Review: There are many reasons for my liking of "The Castle in The Attic" The first reason for my liking is the story plot. The antagonist fits in supelutivly! The clothing of the charaters is another reason for my liking. The knight's plate mail, dagger, helm, and shield. Then there is Alastor's robe, a perple hue radiates from the blue robe. One last reason is the main character! I can relate to him so much it is scary in a way.The best part I would have to say was when William begins his journey in Sir Simon's world. She wrote it so well you could really picture yourself standing there in the rolling fields with the castle in the background or the rolling roads toward towns filled with knights and patrolmen. the real reason why is when he duels the black dragon of Alastor's. You could picture William's duel at the castle gates. The most vivid part was the middle part of the book. You could see in her writing thats he spent a lot of time on that part of the story. The first reason is the way she worded it, also the way you could picture it inside your head. The resolution is a little dull though. I guess that she got bored of the story and wnated to end it quickley. The worst part was describing the main setting. She left you out in the middle of nowhere besides the fact that they weren't in the United Kingdom. Overall though, I would give the book and 4 out of 5.
Rating: Summary: Castle in The Attic Review: There are very many adventures in the book. I recommend 2 books the Castle in The Attic and The Battle for The Castle. They are really good books. They are very interesting. The auther is Elizabeth Winthrop. She makes it so that you won't want to put it down. I know I did not want to put the book down. I'm giving the book 5 stars because its very detailed. For example instead of her saying he climbed the tree to get the apple. She tells what happend while he climbed the tree. My favorite part was when William freed the Silver Knight.He touched the Silver Knight on the cheek so the Silver Knight came alive. In conclusion, I highly recommend this book. So if you like adventures, this is a book I think you would like.

Rating: Summary: The Castle in the Attic Review: This book is amazing. I read it when I was a child and couldn't put it down. It has amazing adventure and suspense, without the horrible violence. Several months ago, something reminded me of the book and I had to hunt it down. I had forgotten the title and the author(it had been 15 years since I read it). I finally was able to locate it. I was thrilled. I bought it and read it in just a couple of hours. It is a book I recommend for both children and adults.
