Castle in the Mist
Castle in the Mist | Amy Ephron
12 posts | 12 read | 11 to read
In the tradition of Edward Eager and E.L. Konigsburg, a novel about the excitement and the dangers of wishing. Tess and her brother, Max, are sent for the summer to their aunt s sleepy village in the English countryside, where excitement is as rare as a good wifi signal. So when Tess stumbles upon an old brass key that unlocks an ornately carved gate, attached to a strangely invisible wall, she jumps at the chance for adventure. And the world beyond the gate doesn t disappoint. She finds rose gardens, a maze made of hedges, and a boy named William who is just as lonely as she is. But at William s castle, strange things begin to happen. Carnival games are paid for in wishes, dreams seem to come alive, and then there's William's eerie warning: Beware of the hawthorn trees. A warning that chills Tess to the bone. In a magical, fantasy world that blurs the line between reality and imagination, readers are left to wonder exactly what they d wish for if wishes could come true. Perfect for fans ofHalf Magic and The Secret Garden and for anyone who's ever wondered if magic is real. Praise for The Castle in the Mist: Bursting with imagination and warmth, Amy Ephron s first novel for young people is a magical book in all ways. Holly Goldberg Sloan, New York Times bestselling author of Counting by 7s"

Fantasy is not my jam, but this one was okay. A little too short even for a middle grade novel, I think. I love the cover.

megnews Fantasy is not my thing either except very specific things. I like that cover too. 5y
sblbooks @megnews I love the sub-genre of time travel fantasy. 5y

I haven‘t been on here much in the past few weeks because I‘ve been traveling and exhausted, but we were excited to visit @FountainBookstore today for the first time! ❤️ (The tagged book is the one I bought there for this guy.) #raisingreaders

I enjoyed this audio. I don't think it was life-changing, but it was a solid, classic fantasy middle grade with all the right elements: a mysterious castle, kids with freedom to adventure on their own, lots of magic! Most importantly for me was an unusual element: adults, while mostly off-screen, are portrayed as sympathetic characters with problems and rich lives of their own. All the characters were nicely designed. Recommend.

Quick read. A little magic and mystery -- adventure and a bit of drama. Although predictable ending from my old lady perspective, young middle grade readers will be charmed. Recommended. #24in48 @PenguinPublishing @penguinusa

Waiting for water to boil in my new electric kettle, then diving into this promising middle grade book by one of the Ephron sisters. Described as Secret Garden meets Half Magic. I'll let you know. (I've been a kind of #24in48 fail). The mug is from a mystery lovers' email list

LeahBergen This book sounds lovely. I can't wait to hear what you think! 8y

A brass key that unlocks a gate to a garden, mazes, and a new friend. A book about wishes, friendship, and a little magic. Set in England.
