Princess Celie loves her castle because it makes additions to itself, usually on Tuesdays. When her parents go to her eldest brother's graduation from the college of wizards, all that returns is news of an ambush by a pack of bandits in a pass on the way home. Celie's father, mother, and brother are believed dead. A couple of princes from nearby kingdoms come to Castle Glower in hopes of gaining the throne. When the schemes of one prince become life-threatening, Celie and her sister Delilah hide in a new castle tower with magic spyglasses and secret passageways. By watching the secret council chamber, they learn just how serious this prince is about destroying them. Can Celie, Delilah, and their brother Rolf save the castle from his evil plotting?
Opinion:
Tuesdays at the Castle was absolutely stunning. It was a beautiful tale of sorrow, pain, betrayal, and humor. I have read a great deal of other books by Jessica Day George, but this one was by far the best. I think it would be fun to live in an ever-changing castle. This story is completely original. It's nothing like any other book I've ever read (and I've read a LOT of books). This book is sure to delight Jessica Day George fans, and encourage readers new to this author to read her other books. In other words, it's the perfect book for fairy-tale lovers.
