It's been awhile, but I finished the most recent book in the Castle Glower series. I wish I hadn't waited so long, but I figured that I would get it from my mom. In the end, I checked it out from the library. When were were at the check out desk the librarian asked if Kanga was the one checking it out. I didn't have any problems saying that I had selected it. I would like to read the series with Kanga, but she hasn't expressed an interest... yet. The series does a good job of keeping you on your toes. It continued to feel like a children's book but certainly deals with grown up challenges.
Plot: Celie, Rolf, Lilith, Probst, and Lulath, along with Rufus the griffin, have been taken by the castle to where the rest of it is. Arriving at the ancestral home of the castle places them all in great danger and not just from starvation or exposure to the elements. It turns out that there is a poisoned lake, wild griffins, and an ancient vendetta between two peoples who both claim the castle. Cast into the middle of the remains of this feud Celie and the others must figure out what is going on and how they are going to get back.
My personal favorites: Jessica Day George is great at writing children's stories that expose their readers to serious questions. Thursdays with the Crown is no exception. I also like Lulath. A lot. I love how Lulath, correctly, had an accent when speaking his non-native language, but when they talked in his language he didn't. George justifiably hangs a lantern on the first time it happens and I thought it was great.
Considerations: This book is very age appropriate and I don't have any reservations with this book.
I thought there were only going to be three books in the series, but, after speaking to my mother, learned that there should be a Friday and a Saturday forthcoming. The total length was 224 pages.
