Summary: 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 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.

Review: Celie loves Castle Glower and the castle loves her back. She knows the ins and outs and ups and downs. She loves the changing passages and new rooms that it builds and when it wants her to do something it creates a new door for her to go through. All of this comes in handy when her father and mother are presumed dead and her brother, Rolf is to be crowned king but at the same time become a puppet to the council and Khelsh, a foreign prince who will stop at nothing to take control of the castle. 

Overall, this is a wonderful story that was way more thrilling than I could have imagined. The changes in the castle and the changes in the people within the castle make this for a fast paced read that leaves you wanting more and more with each turn of the page.
