Love this book

Amazing book, really reminded me of the famous five, I do wish they added more bits to the the castle’s curse, but I Definitely would recommend this book, and can’t wait to read the next one. 🤩🤩🤩

Reminiscent of the Famous Five adventures

This story was okay, but having read the Famous Five I continually drew similarities with the characters, settings and style of writing so this was off putting for me. If you have never read the Famous Five books then it may be more enjoyable otherwise you may find you mix up your characters! This is most suited to LSK2 (year 3- 4) I would not recommend for UKS2, depending on maturity. I wanted to like this more but it lacked originality for me-sorry to say.
