Critic reviews

Filled with magnificent griffins and mysteries about the true history of the land and the Castle, fans of the series will eagerly devour this latest installment.

Lovely and engaging, this fantasy series continues to have wide appeal.

A sweet, funny, sincere story in which siblings work together.

Castle Glower is the true star of this charming story of court intrigue and magic. . . . Adventure stories fans will enjoy this as much as children who wear their wizard cloaks proudly.

This enjoyable romp turns mischief into political action and a stone palace into a cunning character. . . . These kids are clever, as is George’s lively adventure. May pique castle envy.
