Another Must Read!

        This week I finished yet another one of the SSYRA books.  My newest book was Tuesdays at the Castle by Jessica Day George.  I have to admit I was a little skeptical about reading this book at first because I am not a fan of dragons and dungeons and other castle-y stuff . . . but this book is so much better than so many of the other castle books I have read in the past!!!  This book is about a royal family that lives in Castle Glower.  But the castle is not your average stone home, no this one is magical and can use its powers to protect the ones it loves and pester the ones it doesn't.  I don't want to give too much away but the story is centered around the three youngest children of the king and queen as they try to survive after their parents disappear and are presumed dead.  The main character Celie is eleven, but I think that even students as young as third grade would enjoy and be able to follow the storyline.  The book is fun and fast paced and at times a little intense as you root for the Celie, Lilah, and Rolf.  I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it!
