Summary:

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? -- Amazon.

School Library Journal Review

Gr 3-6-The story picks up after Celie's beloved Castle Glower transported Celie, two of her siblings, some friends, and her griffin, Rufus, into a mysterious land. Now, Celie and her friends must find the lost piece of the Castle's Eye so they can return home and help heal the Castle, which has been acting increasingly strange. As they seek answers and hunt for the Eye, the group navigates a poisoned lake, explores the original castle builder's tomb, hatches two griffin eggs, and meets Rufus's parents. They also encounter two mysterious wizards, and they must decide which one to trust as they learn about the Castle's long history. This well-paced story is filled with adventures at every turn, and although there are many different characters to keep track of, narrator Suzy Jackson uses distinctive voices for each. VERDICT Fans of the series will be happy to hear Celie and Lilah plotting their next adventure, leaving the door open for another installment in this popular series.-Anne Bozievich, Friendship Elementary School, Glen Rock, PA (c) Copyright 2015.
