Shadow Castle: Expanded Edition

Rating:
Summary: A dreamy fantasy with a strong female protagonist.
Review: Like so many others have written, this was one of my favorite childhood books. Unfortunately, it was also my older sister's favorite book, and when we left the nest she had seniority rights over the book. I have been searching for my own copy since my sister left home 20 years ago. I am especially fond of this fantasy tale because the central figure is a strong little girl with an adventuresome spirit. Her courage and curiosity more than compensate for the traditional tale of romance retold by the prince. A hands down winner.

Summary: My all-time favorite book!
Review: I can't believe this book has finally been re-published! Reading this book is one of the happiest memories of my childhood. You've made a lot of people very happy, not to mention the thousands of children who are sick of hearing their parent(s) moan about this terrific book *they* read when they were a kid. Now a whole new generation will have the opportunity to treasure this book as I and many others have.

Summary: Amazon ended my 15 year search!
Review: After my 3rd grade school library survived a fire, the librarian gave away the unsalvageable books. I received a copy of Shadow Castle without the cover and the first three pages. It provided me a special world for years. At some point I lost it, and have had used bookstores searching for it ever since. I had given up, but on a whim I searched here. Thank you so much, Amazon! My daughter will love it just as much.

Summary: I still love the book
Review: I am a 44 year old Male and still consider this one of the best childrens books I have ever read! I purchased my copy when I was 8 or 9 years old and although missing the front cover and very tattered I still have it. It was also one of my daughters favorite stories as she was growing up and if I can ever find another copy I will buy it for her. In the meantime this copy is MINE.

Summary: The stuff dreams are made of
Review: I read this book when I was a young girl, and checked it out of the school library so much, that when it became a little tattered around the edges from my constant reading, the librarian gave it to me for $1.00 and a smile.I was always happily entranced, following the exciting adventures with Bluebell, Robin, Mika and Gloria..but the dream ended 2 years later when I lost my only copy during a trip to Maine. 16 years later, and I'm still searching for another copy of Shadow Castle to no avail... but I never lose hope in finding the book and becoming entranced again with it's magical story.

Summary: Still love this book
Review: In a fit of "being too old for fairy tales" as a teen, I got rid of my copy of this book. Now for many years I've been searching for another copy. Finally, when I could stand it no longer, I borrowed it through InterLibrary Loan just for the joy of reading it all over again. And I found that I loved it just as much as when I'd read it as a child. I only wish they would reprint it so I could get a copy all my own.

Summary: This book changed my childhood
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. When I left home (1967) mom and dad still had it. Today, my nephew has my copy which is (and has been for 20 years) missing the last page. I have been looking for another copy sporadically for what seems like forever. Every kid (no matter what age) needs to read and reread this book.

Summary: The greatest children's book ever written
Review: I have been looking for 20 years for a copy of this book. I read it to my younger sister when we were kids. Then, our mother accidently gave it to the church rummage sale. We have been heartsick ever since. I would love to give a copy to my sister for Christmas (and have one for myself as well) . Please help us recapture our childhood

Summary: The best Magical Children's Book ever written
Review: I first read this book at age 8. I read it to my daughter before she was born. She read it to my son at age 5. They read it together for 4 years. They left our one and only copy at the babysitter's house. Between the three of us we know each line of the book. I would love to be able to give them a copy of this book for their kids.

Summary: I wish I still had this book
Review: I read this book so many times as a child and teenager, that the pages were falling out. I loved it more each time I read it. Somehow in between moves I have lost my copy, and I have been trying for years to find another one. I am now 36 years old, and have two girls of my own. I cannot express how much I wish that I had this book to share with them. Maybe someday, the publisher will decide to reprint it, and I will be first in line!! Until then, I will continue to look for it, because I know my girls would love it just as much as I did.
