Tuesdays at the Castle
Jessica Day George
Are you the type of person who enjoys books about castles and
princesses? Then this book is for you! Or are you the type of person that
thinks that fairytale-type books are for little kids? Then this book is for you
anyways! This book is for everybody! It’s fun, adventurous, and a great
mystery! I know that that’s a lot of exclamation points, but this book really
deserves it! It’s my all-time favorite!
Castle Glower can grow and change by itself. The people who
live in it are :King Glower the seventy-ninth, his wife, who is the daughter of
the Royal Wizard, and their four kids: Bran, who went to the College of
Wizardry four years ago, Rolf, who is the heir to his throne, Delilah (Lilah),
and Cecelia (Celie).
Celie’s parents went to get her older brother from the College
of Wizardry. It’s time for them to come back but when the royal carriage does come back it’s speeding and the
only person in it is Sergeant Avery. And he is hurt. He thinks that the king
and the queen are dead. The Glower children are absolutely sure that their
parents aren’t dead, but they still have to hold a funeral ceremony for their
parents and a coronation ceremony for Rolf.
Sleyne’s neighboring kingdoms each sent a prince and a bunch
of representatives. Cecelia thinks that Lulath of Grath isn’t so bad while she
doesn’t like the warrior-like Prince Khelsh. She even soon finds out that he is
planning to assassinate Rolf. Celie is wondering why the castle doesn’t kick
him out like it does to people it doesn’t like.
Her dad’s Royal Council says that Rolf is too young to be
king alone, so he has to rule under regency, which means that they practically get
to tell him what to do! But that’s not even the worst part! The worst part is
that now, Khelsh is part of the Royal Council too!
I know that I put a lot of suspense on you, but all I’m going
to say is that… read the book to find out! Ha-ha just kidding! Well, not
totally kidding. I WILL say that nobody dies except if you count Khelsh, who
gets carried away by a griffon. Well, see ya! And don’t forget that that’s a Bookworm Promise:)! And if you don’t
read it your house will turn on you and throw you out your chimney! Ha! But you
really SHOULD read it though, or you’re going to miss out on one of the BEST
books ever printed! Bye!
