I’ve actually read quite a few of her books, but I need to do it again because they’re that good. There’s a sequel! Excitement! I have to read more Jessica Day George. I think the castle was my favorite character, seriously. But the part where the castle wakes up because Celie gets hurts and then gets rid of Khelsh and then goes all soft so she doesn’t get hurt/killed is pretty much the best part of the book. I never knew that I could have so many feels about a castle. Great plot + great characters + original concept = happiness. This is what makes Middle Grade fiction so great, right here. The idea of a sentient castle is very original for the most part, and the fact that children are the ones who saved the kingdom just makes me chuckle. This book was so cute! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. To find their parents and hold on to their kingdom, Celie and her siblings will need all their ingenuity, Celie’s maps, plus some help from their beloved Castle-before it’s too late.” Then there is the secret passageway that leads the children to a room the Councilors don’t want them to know about. But when the king and queen disappear and Councilors from neighboring kingdoms arrive to “advise” the three Glower children, even the Castle seems to know that something is wrong….Take the new tower room, which is stocked with mysterious objects and has a knack for appearing just when Celia needs it. No one knows how or why the Castle does it, and no one except Princess Celie has ever bothered to map out the Castle’s many twists and turns. That’s when the Castle magically grows a new room, a turret, or sometimes an entire wing.

“Tuesday at Castle Glower is Princess Celie’s favorite day. Tuesdays at the Castle is written by Jessica Day George.
