Tuesdays at the castle series book 65/22/2023 ![]() ![]() Jessica has taken the seemingly simple story of royal children in a magical castle and added layers of good vs. ![]() Not only did it bring out the little girl in me, I also enjoyed it from an adult’s perspective. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Tuesdays at the Castle. With the help of the castle (and sometimes the maids) the royal children must fight the evil prince from a neighboring country and the Royal Council who are trying to force Rolf into relinquishing the right to rule. Prince Rolf, Princess Delilah, and Princess Cecilia fight to keep the castle in the family once their father, mother and oldest brother are attacked on the road and are presumed dead. Tuesdays at the Castle will appeal to girls and boys- girls because the main character is the youngest princess in a royal family, and boys because Rolf, the second oldest son and the castle’s choice for heir to the throne, must take over and rule the kingdom in the absence of his father. I have yet to read another author with Jessica’s particular talent in fairytale storytelling. A magical castle that changes every Tuesday (or more often if it feels like it) and an 11-year-old princess that can communicate with it? What a fun idea. ![]() I have been anxiously awaiting Tuesdays at the Castle since Jessica first told us what she was working on back in March 2010. ![]()
