Welcome Home to the Castle

It has been around 2 years since we read The Castle in the Attic which was one of the best adventures my son and I shared together. I was previously unaware that there was a sequel to this engaging book. After reading the first couple pages my son's came to rapt attention. "I remember this now," he said excitedly. He began remembering the charecters and adventures of the first story. Almost immediately we were captivated by this next adventure - familiar, but new. It was like coming home to the castle. Each chapter of Battle For the Castle brings a new depth of feeling and connection with the charecters - and, yes,each chapter opens to greater surprise and suspense. My son said feelingly, "I love this book." Even on Saturday morning when his favorite activity is to watch cartoons on TV, begged, instead, to hear "one more chapter!"

The Battle for the Castle

I thouhgt The Battle for the Castle was a good book. Infact it was probably my favorite book ever. In some parts of the book I was afraid and scared. In other parts I thought what a great idea. When i first got the book I thought, what is the battle for the castle. This sequal to the castle in the attic is the way to go when there is no other.

The Battle for the castle Review

The Battle for the Castle was an awesome book. I thought it was one of the best books I ever read. I liked it because I love to be in suspense and this book had lots of suspense. I also liked it because it was easy to follow and to understand. If you liked The Castle in the Attic you'll love The battle for the Castle. Thats what I thought about The Battle for the Castle.

great traveling adventure and entertainment

We listened to the cassette version of this book while traveling cross country. Our 8-year old son was entranced and wanted to listen to it again and again. It's a great story about the challenges of pre- and early adolescence wrapped up in a story of high adventure. Great listening. Oh yeah, the book is good too!

A boy who goes to a castle and has to fight rats.

I am in third grade. My teacher read my class this book and the one before it to. Every time when my teacher would stop reading the whole class would beg her to read more. the author does a great job of stoping the chapter right at the really exciting parts.I LOVED it!!!!!!!!! Normally I don't like books about castles but this one I really liked!
