Tuesdays at Castle Glower are Princess Celie's favorite days. That's because on Tuesdays the castle adds a new room, a turret, or sometimes even an entire wing. No one ever knows what the castle will do next, and no one-other than Celie, that is-takes the time to map out the new additions. But when King and Queen Glower are ambushed and their fate is unknown, it's up to Celie, with her secret knowledge of the castle's never-ending twists and turns, to protect their home and save their kingdom. This delightful book from a fan- and bookseller-favorite kicks off a brand-new series sure to become a modern classic.

i will never read this book it was not a good book. i think it is first in my least favorite. you can read this book if you want

my mom put this in my pile to read i did not pick this for myself it might have been ok if i was a little girl but i read this as fast as i could so i dont remeber much other then its another princess story

I did not like this book. It was not the kind of princess book that I like to read. You can give it a try and you might like it.

This story is about a castle that moves rooms and she has a adventure that she will always remember when she is in the moving room castle.

I'm reading this book right now and it is really cute and fun. I currently own the book Thursdays with the crown and I just really enjoy the Royal aspect of the books. It is really cute and I would want to read more books related to this.

this book is soooo good!! Once you read this one, You need to read the whole series to find out what's going on. It's written so well that you don't want to put it down til you're finished.

I love books with sentient buildings, and Castle Glower is a wonderful example. It adds, removes, and changes rooms, sometimes at a whim, other times for very good reasons - like imprisoning enemy spies, or making it obvious who it wants to be the next king. The Castle's preferences are why it's the King's second son that's the Crown Prince (the eldest is training to be a wizard instead). But its favorite is the youngest of the King's children, Princess Celie - who loves it in return, and knows the ways around it better than anyone else.

I tried to read this book, but couldn't finish it. I thought it was dragged out, but I know I also don't like fantasy so that could be part of the reason.

Celie is an 11-year old girl - princess, really - who loves Tuesdays at the Castle. Why? Because the Castle seems to have a mind of its own and adds to, subtracts from, and changes itself on the said day. No one knows what will happen next, but Celie takes the time to map out all the changes, and she is the closest to the Castle. So when her parents are presumed dead after they leave to go see her oldest brother's graduation, she must work with her other siblings and the castle itself to keep out greedy strangers and protect their kingdom. This is a really good adventure novel, with twists and turns around every corner. It was a great read!

Very exciting book. I really love this story line of the book from the beginning to end. I would recommend to people who enjoy reading fantasy.
