Summary: A great book that is worth reading again and again!
Comment: .
This book is about a boy named William whose nanny, Mrs. Phillips, is moving away to England and gives Willaim a castle and a lead knight. Later, William goes to look at the castle and knight, but the knight, Sir Simon, comes to life in his hands!
Sir Simon tells William about the troubles in his land, an evil wizard has taken over Sir Simon's kingdom. That evil wizard, Alastor, turned Simon into lead, but Simon had grabbed a token off of Alasor's neck. That Janus token has the ability to make people small.
William gets the token and shrinks Mrs. Phillip to make her stay, but unwittingly starts fufilling the Prophecy above the castle drawbridge.
In their adventure, William and Sir Simon experience magic, dragons, wizardry, and time travel.
This book is a great read no matter how old you get! I recomend this magical tale for people in third grade and above.

Summary: So Awesome!!
Comment: Man, this book was neat. I loved it. The Castle in the Attic is a great book for people who love adventure. William is a 10 year-old boy who loves gymnastics and loves his nanny Mrs.Phillips who takes care of him. Mrs.Phillips is an elder woman and very much fun to William. One day, William finds out that Mrs.Phillips has to leave. He tries everything to stop her, but nothing works. Before she leaves, she gives William a toy castle and a silver knight that one day is supposed to come alive. When Mrs. Phillips goes to her bus stop to leave, the strangest thing happened. She never set foot past William's front walkway. Where does she end up? What adventure lies in William's hands? All I can say though is the author is trying to tell us" You don't always get what you wish for". If you read this book, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Summary: One of my favorites as a kid
Comment: I loved this book when I was about eight years old, and looking back on it, it's easy to see why: William, the main character, is a gymnast (just as I was) who's rather shy and reserved (just as I was) but manages, when it's important, to help the people around him. He's immensely sympathetic and compelling, and though the familiar fantasyland and evil-wizard-ruling-a-faux-medieval-kingdom plotline hold few surprises for adult readers familiar with the conventions of the genre, it surprised and excited me as a kid.
Re-reading it recently, I found it didn't hold up as well as some of my favorite books from when I was younger (such as Madeleine L'Engle's A Ring of Endless Light), but it holds up better than many; this is a strong book for both children and for adults. I have a hard time imagining a more perfect book for bed-time reading.
