Customer Reviews

Interactive and entertaining format.

While other books on castles written for children may contain more substantial amounts of information, Mystery History of a Medieval Castle is great for kids who cannot or will not perform sustained reading. After reading the main text of each page, the reader has the opportunity to solve puzzles, answer questions which help develop critical thinking skills, and put together clues to find a villain. There is even a board game at the end of the book. Other texts may be used to supplement this one if more in-depth or broader information on the Middle Ages is required. This book is great as a fun activity when used in conjunction with classroom materials and Internet activities.
