With her varied accents and menacing undertones, Jackson's depictions of the foreign dignitaries and treasonous councillors keeps the dialogue fresh and satisfying, but it's her portrayal of the feisty Celie that really stands out. Narrator Suzy Jackson brings this spellbinding world to life, making the extraordinary sound believable. George's magic-infused adventure has a solid plot, an enchanting setting, and memorable characters. Along with their sister, Lilah, the Glower children must band together and use their wits to hold on to their beloved home and kingdom.
When the king and queen disappear and are presumed dead, power-hungry regents and foreign kingdoms invade and plot to dethrone Celie's brother, Rolf, the newly crowned king.
Nobody understands how the Castle does what it does, but 11-year-old Princess Celie knows the castle better than anybody, since she spends her free time exploring its depths and mapping her discoveries in her atlas. Sometimes it adds a new turret, secret passage, or staircase other times, the castle removes a room or hallway. Gr 3–6-Castle Glower is no ordinary castle, and on Tuesdays, it changes.
