Summary: THIRD GRADE READING GROUP RECOMMENDS THIS BOOK!
Comment: We are in the third grade at an all boys school and we just finished reading The Castle in the Attic. We highly recommend this book because it has magic, wizardry, knights, castles, dragons and time travel. We also enjoyed this book because some of the story is fantasy and some is reality. Each character does one special thing in the story. For example, William's special ability to defeat the dragon. The adventure was very exciting! We think the author's use of adjectives is great. Boys and girls would love this book! If you want to read this book by yourself, we recommend it to any student in the third grade and above. However, anyone over 6 years old might enjoy listening to this tale. This book is magical!

Summary: So Awesome!!
Comment: Man, this book was neat. I loved it. The Castle in the Attic is a great book for people who love adventure. William is a 10 year-old boy who loves gymnastics and loves his nanny Mrs.Phillips who takes care of him. Mrs.Phillips is an elder woman and very much fun to William. One day, William finds out that Mrs.Phillips has to leave. He tries everything to stop her, but nothing works. Before she leaves, she gives William a toy castle and a silver knight that one day is supposed to come alive. When Mrs. Phillips goes to her bus stop to leave, the strangest thing happened. She never set foot past William's front walkway. Where does she end up? What adventure lies in William's hands? All I can say though is the author is trying to tell us" You don't always get what you wish for". If you read this book, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Summary: One of my favorites as a kid
Comment: I loved this book when I was about eight years old, and looking back on it, it's easy to see why: William, the main character, is a gymnast (just as I was) who's rather shy and reserved (just as I was) but manages, when it's important, to help the people around him. He's immensely sympathetic and compelling, and though the familiar fantasyland and evil-wizard-ruling-a-faux-medieval-kingdom plotline hold few surprises for adult readers familiar with the conventions of the genre, it surprised and excited me as a kid.
Re-reading it recently, I found it didn't hold up as well as some of my favorite books from when I was younger (such as Madeleine L'Engle's A Ring of Endless Light), but it holds up better than many; this is a strong book for both children and for adults. I have a hard time imagining a more perfect book for bed-time reading.
