What to expect

Bloomsbury presents Thursdays with the Crown by Jessica Day George, read by Grace Andrews.

Castle Glower’s towers have transported Princess Celie, her siblings and her pet griffin, Rufus, to an unknown land – a world of wild griffins, shadowy forests and castle ruins. As they set out on a dangerous adventure to discover their whereabouts, they find an entire lost people, divided by the wishes of two wizards in a centuries-old quarrel over their beloved home – Castle Glower! Why has the castle sent Celie and her siblings here, and will they ever get back home?

Critics Review

Castle Glower is the true star of this charming story of court intrigue and magic. A satisfying mix of Hogwarts and Howl's Moving Castle, Castle Glower helps its true citizens, but never at the expense of plot or character development . . . Adventure stories fans will enjoy this as much as children who wear their wizard cloaks proudly
