Title: The Enchanted Castle

Author: E. Nesbit

Grade Level: 5&6th

"The Enchanted Castle" is a fanciful, imaginative, and at times completely confusing book. Written to tell the adventures of a group of siblings on holiday from school, it joins them on one escapade after the next as they play with a magic ring. Their adventures join them with Greek gods and goddesses as well as the lord of a castle. There is mystery, romance, and so many different experiences that the story (although well written) is at times hard to follow. If you desire a completely imaginative read, you may find this book fascinating, though it is pure imagination with no inspirational characteristics at all.
