Thursday brings even more adventure in the third book of this delightful New York Times bestselling series from Jessica Day George.

Castle Glower has been acting weird, so it's no surprise when two towers transport Celie and her siblings to an unknown land. When they realize that no one from home is coming to get them, the kids--along with Celie's pet griffin Rufus--set out through the forest to figure out where they are and what's happened to their beloved Castle.

Instead, they discover two wizards and an entire lost people, the oldest inhabitants of Castle Glower. And it seems they may know more of the Castle's secrets than Celie. But do they know how to get her back home?

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 4–6—Picking up right where Wednesdays in the Tower (Bloomsbury, 2013) left off, Princess Celie and her siblings have been transported by Castle Glower to a strange land. With them are their friends Pogue and Prince Lulath, as well as Celie's griffin, Rufus. In order to return home and heal the Castle, Celie and company must find the missing piece of the Eye that has been stolen. They meet a wizard, the Arkower, and though they don't trust him, he may be the only one who can help them in their mission. Filled with magnificent griffins and mysteries about the true history of the land and the Castle, fans of the series will eagerly devour this latest installment. The stakes are higher than ever before and the well-paced narrative keeps readers engaged throughout. Supporting characters such as Lulath are more fully fleshed out in this title and while circumstances often separate members of the group, the perspective always stays with Celie, so readers share her confusion and skepticism as she hears conflicting stories about the Castle and the kingdom. Like the protagonist, readers will come away with the valuable lesson that there are multiple sides to every story and that there isn't always a clear right or wrong side in a conflict between groups of people. Though this part of Celie's tale concludes, fans will be delighted at the hints of her next adventure in the final paragraphs.—Amanda Raklovits, Champaign Public Library, IL

Review

“Lovely and engaging, this fantasy series continues to have wide appeal . . . Fans should be eager for this origin revealing follow-up.” ―Booklist

“Fans of the series will eagerly devour this latest installment.” ―School Library Journal

“This enjoyable romp turns mischief into political action and a stone palace into a cunning character. . . . These kids are clever, as is George's adventure. May pique castle envy.” ―Kirkus on Tuesdays at the Castle

“This story puts an unexpected spin on the typical princess tale. Readers will root equally for crafty Celie and for her castle, a truly unique and memorable 'pet.'” ―Library Media Connection on Tuesdays at the Castle

“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.” ―School Library Journal on Tuesdays at the Castle

“There is a warmth here that is utterly irresistible, both in Celie as the plucky, resourceful protagonist . . . and the maternal, protective nature of her guardian castle. Furthermore, Celie's devotion to her older brother and sister is appealing, and it's refreshing to see siblings who get along despite their differing personalities.” ―BCCB on Tuesdays at the Castle

“A sweet, funny, sincere story in which siblings work together.” ―Kirkus Reviews on Wednesdays in the Tower

It's all about the books. Friends, family, school, "real jobs", they were just obstacles to be tackled so that I could return to my true love: books. All I have ever wanted in this world is to read and write books. My criteria for choosing a purse is that it must be able to fit a paperback book inside. I took books on my honeymoon, and bought more while we were there. I picked my major because it looked like I would get to read a lot of books, and also I thought it would provide me with interesting background information for my own books (which it did), so I now have a BA in Humanities -Comparative Literature with a minor in Scandinavian Studies. From the time I was twelve on up, I told people that I wanted to be a writer. When they said, "So, you'll teach and then maybe try to write a book?" I would just shake my head. No, I was a writer, and that was all I wanted to do. Over the years I have lived in Idaho, New Jersey, Delaware, and now Utah, because it doesn't matter. I can read and write anywhere. I've worked at a wedding invitation factory (Bet you didn't know they made them in big scary factories, did you?), at a video store (back at the birth of DVD), at libraries and bookstores, and even been an office lady at a school while I waited to get published. I knew that I would be published eventually, because . . . well, I just had to be.

Now, don't get me wrong, I have other interests. I took eight years of German, four of Norwegian, and even studied Old Norse so that I could read the great Viking sagas in the original language. I knit like a maniac: hats, scarves, sweaters, dog sweaters, socks, felted purses, you name it. I play the piano and viola, love to travel and to watch movies. I have a husband and three kids and a dog . . .

But mostly, it's about the books.

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 .

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Wait for Fridays!
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2014

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.

I bought the first book on a whim through a $5 Audible sale, unsure if we would like it or not. It was a hit! Now, within seconds of finishing each book, my kids are loudly demanding to know, "Did you buy the next one yet?!?!" Even the teenager loves these stories. My husband, my in-laws, everyone who hears a bit while we're listening or reading, ends up wanting to hear more!

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).

4.0 out of 5 stars Third in the series, and still enjoying this
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 17, 2015

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.
