I like it so far. Every Tuesday Castle Glower takes on a life of its own-magically inventing, moving, and even completely getting rid of some of its rooms. Good thing Princess Celie takes the time to map out these never-ending changes. Because when the castle is ambushed and Celie's parents and oldest brother go missing, it's up to Celie to protect their home and save their kingdom. A great new series that readers will devour!

Tuesdays at Castle Glower are Princess Celie's favorite days. That's because on Tuesdays the castle adds a new room, a turret, or sometimes even an entire wing. No one ever knows what the castle will do next, and no one-other than Celie, that is-takes the time to map out the new additions. But when King and Queen Glower are ambushed and their fate is unknown, it's up to Celie, with her secret knowledge of the castle's never-ending twists and turns, to protect their home and save their kingdom. This delightful book from a fan- and bookseller-favorite kicks off a brand-new series sure to become a modern classic.

This is about a princess whose parents disappear. Her brother becomes king, and she is worried. Lots of random people come to her castle and try to become the king. Will she stop them?
I really liked this book. It was an adventure but all in one place. It got kind of scary at the end and in the middle. But other than that it was very fun.
A cool book, it swoops you right into the plot with no hi-my-name-is stuff at all. A captivating plot, best book I have read in a while!
This book is kind of good kind of bad since I like history, but I got kind of got bored reading it. My personal rating of this is a 3 star because it was kind of boring but it was about the medieval times.
This is a really fun book about a princess in a magical castle. This castle can not only change rooms and expand on a daily basis, it actually seems to have feelings and a knack to tell right from wrong. This book is funny and unique and you should definitely read it.
I liked this book a lot. It was pretty much an adventure the whole book even though it was in the same place. I thought it was kind of scary in parts but it all turned out good.
I used to not be interested in princess related books, until I read this book. Also, when I first read the cover of this book, I thought it would be boring. But, this fantasy book is different from other ones because it is about a princess doing the work to protect a kingdom. It shows that being a princess or a prince isn't as easy as you would think. My favorite part of this book is how the author came up with the idea that the castle can change on its own.
This is about Castle Glower. Castle Glower is a Castle that moves and changes on its own. Castle Glower changes the most things on Tuesday. Celie loves the castle and doesn't mind its changes. Her siblings are Bran, Lililah, and Rolf. Her dad is King Glower the 79th. Everybody agrees that the Castle loves Celie. Later someone tells the children of King Glower that King Glower and his wife is dead. That would mean to them that their mom and dad were dead. They were on their way to see Bran graduate. Something weird happens after that. A group of councilors come to help them. Castle Glower scenes trouble and their lives are filled with twist and turns. In the end it turns out that Bran, their mom, and their dad or the king are alive.
Tuesdays at the Castle is not some ordinary princesses book. To be honest, I was never interested in princesses or knights, but this book had an amazing story to it. It showed the real responsibilities of a princess and prince, and I'm sure you will enjoy the book!
