This book is about Mrs. Phillips, a housekeeper who has cared for William since he was born. But now, years later, she decides to return to her family. Since Mrs. Phillips doesn’t have children, she gives William a toy castle that has been traveling down her family tree for centuries.
This castle is placed in William’s attic as the name suggests. But since William has been with Mrs. Phillips forever, William tries to stop her from leaving him, but eventually Mrs. Phillips doesn’t change her mind, so, finally he goes to see the castle, where he discovers magic and then traps Mrs. Phillips inside the castle by shrinking her. Then, when Mrs. Phillips gets angry with William, he decides to turn her back to normal, but for that he has to go on a quest in another world, where he encounters many challenges including escaping an enchanted forest, defeating a dragon, and then turning Mrs. Phillips back to her proper size.
With this book constantly keeping you on your toes, I'm going to go with 4/5 stars for Castle In The Attic.
