llpanda, your review makes me smile. Thank you for staying up all night to finish the story! That is, perhaps, the kindest thing a reader can say about a book. Thank you for reading and reviewing. I hope you'll follow along as Avery continues her journey in book 2! --TrishaAbout 8 years agotrishawhitepriebeliked a comment in The Glass Castle (Thirteen).
I was up all night finishing this book it was so great. Avery and her brother Henry are kidnapped on her 13th birthday by an old woman who takes Avery to a castle( Henry is not with her). The castle is filled with tons of 13 year olds all hiding in the castle. They have to be kept a secret from the King or they might lose their lives. Avery just wants to see her brother again and go home to her father. But she learns that some of the children have been here a long time and there isn't a chance of her going back any time soon. Will she get out and find Henry and her father or will she stay and find the secret of the glass castle. I loved this book recommend it to everyone.About 8 years agotrishawhitepriebeliked a comment in The Glass Castle (Thirteen).
This book was so unique in it's execution of a storyline that has been rehashed time and time again, and was a breath of fresh air for the troupe of having someone kidnapped, and therefore being forced to follow a set of rules, despite having a rebellion in the working. However, The Glass Castle produced original characters who could stand up for themselves, such as Avery, who was by far one of my favorite children's book female characters, partly because she seemed to not make the same mistakes that other characters have made that seem very obvious to the reader. Instead, she had a clear plan, and instead of being distracted by other obstacles, she focused on what she believed to be important, and didn't lose sight of her goal. I also absolutely loved the setting of the story, to be in a historical era with a school, as I'll probably never tire from boarding schools, especially ones set in the past! Overall, this was probably one of the best children's books that I have read, and I'm eagerly anticipating the next book in the series!About 8 years agotrishawhitepriebe replied to a comment in

Avery and her brother are playing in the forest, when Avery is kidnapped. This on her thirteenth birthday, and she is scared for herself and her brother. She arrives in the royal castle, to live in secret with other teens as the staff. She befriends Kate, a mysterious girl who likes sewing. She also becomes enemies with Ilsa, because Ilsa thinks Avery is after her crush Tuck. The other teens are all orphans except Avery, and Avery also discovers that her mother, who abandoned her family, has a connection to the royals. With a new bratty queen on the way, Avery has a feeling that the queen is why they are imprisoned.About 8 years agotrishawhitepriebe replied to a comment in
