Thursdays with the Crown (Tuesdays at the Castle)

I love all these books! But this one kept me on my toes as i eagerly devoured the pages. I don't think i even saw the words. I was so involved in the story and it's events that it ran through my mind like a movie. Celie, her siblings, and her friends have never had an adventure quite like this one, but they solved a centuries old mystery, helped to bring back the rest of Castle Glower, and rescued magnificent griffins! This book is a continuation of book two and begins in a foreign world that the Castle sent them to so they could find the other half of the eye of the Castle that was hidden somewhere in the Glorious Arkower, and so Celie and those with her could learn more about the Castle's history and their ties with the griffins. It's a great story!! I hope you love it as much as i do!

I enjoyed Tuesdays at the Castle and Wednesdays in the Tower. As soon as I finished Thursdays with the Crown, I looked for a Fridays... followup (not listed yet). The series has an original idea for a plot. The castle moves between its former location and the current one, depending on what is needed--until trouble brews and the castle feels threatened. The castle isn't quite a character in the story, since its actions are a little too subtle and underplayed, but it certainly adds a delightful twist to the lives of the royal children who live in it. They find griffins and griffin eggs in the castle's former location. No one believed griffins were real, and certainly not alive in their lifetime. Celie discovers taking care of a toddler griffin is a full-time job, especially because the castle takes measures to prevent her from telling her family about him. Keeping him secret makes for some funny high jinks--until others get their own griffins. This book ends with the possibility of visiting another realm and having more adventures.

This is the third book in the Castle Glower series by Jessica Day George. The book is continues on with adventures of the Glower children in their magic castle. The castle is acting in a most curious way. An experienced wizard is summoned, but different wizard shows up. The castle ends up transporting three of the glower children and a couple of friends to a different word. The castle is in trouble to say the least, and the new wizard has a few secrets he is keeping from the Glower family. This is a fantastic fantasy and I would recommend it to young and old alike. Now on to the fourth book (Fridays with the Wizards).

I was certainly looking forward to the conclusion of this series after the last book's cliffhanger. I'm afraid this was a big disappointing. It never quite seemed to get off the ground. You have griffins, and bad guys, and other bad guys, and somewhat in-between guys, and basically a lot of running around from place to place for no apparent reason. "Tuesdays in the Castle" was full of charm; one didn't really care why the castle did the things that it did. (It was a magic castle - why not?) The author's attempt to "explain" the magic of the castle actually kinda' took the magic out of it! This came across as a bit of a hasty wrap-up of the series.

My children and I have enjoyed this entire series. Ready to read the next one! My daughter likes it so much, she's read it twice and will probably curl up this winter and read it again! I've read the first two in the series and will read this one too. My daughters and my son have enjoyed these stories of the kids and their magical moving castle.

I love this book so much! All the action and suspense, it just makes you want to read more!😘

Jessica Day George is an amazing author and I was glad I stumbled upon her series the Castle Glower series I would like to let you know that just because it's the same author doesn't mean that I'm there not to to the different ideas the dragons slipper Series in the castle policies are very different in my opinion the Castle Glower series is the better series because it's filled with a land of fantasy and mystery and you can expand upon what she's written in your mind and it really feels like the characters are there I love the detail she uses in her writing so I think this book would be great for pretty much anyone .

This was one of the best books I have read! It’s fun, creative, and a good book for ages 10 and older.

a great third book in the Glower series. Didn't have much of the castle in this one, as Celie, her siblings, and Lulath and Pogue have travelled to the 'Glorious Arkower". I liked the history of the Arkish and the Hathelockes, but I feel a lot of things were skimmed in this book - I know this is aimed at kids but the other two in the series have that much detail in them that anyone can get immersed in them. This one did seem a little rushed, in that I didnt really see why Delilah chose one of her suitors over the other, I would liked to have read more about the Griffins and Rufus' reunion with his dad, and a little more about how the griffins live, more on the history of the Arkwright, Arkower and Royal Wizard, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it, and I know younger readers would adore this. I would love to read more in the series! Maybe an adventure in Grath next?If you like this series of books by Jessica Day George - try reading other books she has written - her book 'sun moon ice and snow' is what made me read her other books. You would also like books by Shannon Hale.
