The Castle in the Attic by Elizabeth Winthrop

This is a story about a boy named William. His house-keeper, Mrs. Phillips has worked for his family his entire life. But now she is going back to her home in England. He doesn't want her to leave but she leaves him with a toy castle. The soldier that comes with it is really real and his name is Sir Simon. One thing leads to another and William is in the world of castles and dragons where he has to complete his mission to get home and have everything return to normal.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun and interesting concept. I liked the writing and the characters. I would recommend this book to elementary aged children because it's an easier and shorter read and the story might interest them a little bit more as well.

I think I would rate this book a 8.5 out of 10 because it was really good, but it could have been longer and more detailed.
