See where it all began with the start to Jessica Day George's bestselling series about a castle that can rebuild itself and the children who defend it.

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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This enjoyable romp turns mischief into political action and a stone palace into a cunning character. . . . These kids are clever, as is George's adventure. May pique castle envy." ―Kirkus

"This story puts an unexpected spin on the typical princess tale. Readers will root equally for crafty Celie and for her castle, a truly unique and memorable 'pet.'" ―Library Media Connection

"Castle Glower is the true star of this charming story of court intrigue and magic. A satisfying mix of Hogwarts and Howl's Moving Castle, Castle Glower helps its true citizens, but never at the expense of plot or character development. . . . Adventure stories fans will enjoy this as much as children who wear their wizard cloaks proudly." ―SLJ

"There is a warmth here that is utterly irresistible, both in Celie as the plucky, resourceful protagonist . . . and the maternal, protective nature of her guardian castle. Furthermore, Celie's devotion to her older brother and sister is appealing, and it's refreshing to see siblings who get along despite their differing personalities." ―BCCB

It's all about the books. Friends, family, school, "real jobs", they were just obstacles to be tackled so that I could return to my true love: books. All I have ever wanted in this world is to read and write books. My criteria for choosing a purse is that it must be able to fit a paperback book inside. I took books on my honeymoon, and bought more while we were there. I picked my major because it looked like I would get to read a lot of books, and also I thought it would provide me with interesting background information for my own books (which it did), so I now have a BA in Humanities -Comparative Literature with a minor in Scandinavian Studies. From the time I was twelve on up, I told people that I wanted to be a writer. When they said, "So, you'll teach and then maybe try to write a book?" I would just shake my head. No, I was a writer, and that was all I wanted to do. Over the years I have lived in Idaho, New Jersey, Delaware, and now Utah, because it doesn't matter. I can read and write anywhere. I've worked at a wedding invitation factory (Bet you didn't know they made them in big scary factories, did you?), at a video store (back at the birth of DVD), at libraries and bookstores, and even been an office lady at a school while I waited to get published. I knew that I would be published eventually, because . . . well, I just had to be.

Now, don't get me wrong, I have other interests. I took eight years of German, four of Norwegian, and even studied Old Norse so that I could read the great Viking sagas in the original language. I knit like a maniac: hats, scarves, sweaters, dog sweaters, socks, felted purses, you name it. I play the piano and viola, love to travel and to watch movies. I have a husband and three kids and a dog . . .

But mostly, it's about the books.

I don’t know why.. dating interests?.. need to be present in children books. It can be just as interesting without it. Can we stop doing this? We are only on chapter 9. I’ve skipped it but I wanted to warn others.Edit:Just finished the book as a read aloud. My daughter is asking for the next book. She loved it. My only issue is the flirting but I just skipped it. Otherwise it was a good story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2013

Celie loves Castle Glower, the magical castle in which she lives with her family. Despite the castle's tendency to confuse everyone and create new rooms and move existing rooms seemingly at it's own whim, Celie loves the place. In fact, she knows the castle better than anyone else and her self-created atlas proves it. When her parents disappear, apparently assassinated, her knowledge and connection to the castle become key in helping her brother, Rolf, the Crown Prince, keep his tenuous hold on the kingdom. But when things look blackest can Celie use her knowledge of the castle to save her family? I loved the castle as a setting, I giggled as I read about the castle's way of treating those not worthy of trusting. I also loved Celie's spunkyness and determination to save her home and family. Her brother Rolf is my second favorite character, his sense of humor while dealing with a great deal of pressure from the royal council impressed me.

Plotwise, there were a few things that I wondered about, such as why some people acted the way they did, but this didn't bother me much. Mostly I just enjoyed the story for what it was, a fun, exciting story about a living castle and it's inhabitants. There was plenty of excitement and humor and I highly recommend this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Celie has the best castle ever imagined!!
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2020

Tuesday's at the Castle Glower are the best! Those are the days the castle likes to stretch its wings and add rooms, stairways, or hallways if it felt like it. It's such a fun read that I've read this book to my grandchildren several times over the past few years and it's still one of my favorites!! I had rented the book online from my local library, but really wanted to own the book, so I purchased this online e-book, and the other books in this entertaining and enjoyable series, so I could read them whenever i wanted to. I plan on buying a hard copy in the future because I love books and this one, along with the rest of the series, would be a perfect addition to my collection. Princess Celie is the main character of this book. The story is told generally through her eyes and experiences. She loves her castle, and it loves and protects her from an evil Prince and her father's wicked Emissary, it helps her sneak through the castle by adding, shifting, and altering rooms and stairways. It's the best castle ever!!! I'm enthralled with the story and how clever Celie is and I hope you will enjoy these books as much as I and my grandkids do!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Mystery For Kids
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2022

I read this with my daughter (9, 3rd grade). She liked the beginning, but had a hard time with some of the introduction chapters that were rather boring. Once the story picked up it got very interesting. So interesting she couldn't put the book down until she read the last three chapters. I found it to be well written. There were some words that I found hard to pronounce so kids could struggle with them. There were new vocabulary words that my daughter didn't know so that was good. We are both glad with how the story turned out. We also liked Cecelia, Rolf, and Lilah a lot. The good characters were also well written and easy to like. Lots of funny moments sprinkled in too.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful book!
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2013
Verified Purchase
I would give this book ten stars if I could.

This confident, pitch-perfect narrative does what it sets out to do, creating a magical castle inhabited by real people who face a real crisis, and then bringing the crisis to a successful conclusion. I hope this is a standalone novel, because I believe there is nothing left to be said about Castle Glower. "Tuesdays at the Castle" joins "The Search for Delicious" and "Half Magic" in the category of classy classics for pre-teens.

Celie is a fine heroine, smart and caring and brave. She is a good character for girls to identify with, and I think boys will manage to get over any "Yuck, a princess book" qualms and enjoy her story too.

When I started to read "Tuesdays at the Castle," I worried that it would be too similar to another recent girl-in-a-changing-castle book, "Flora Segunda" by Wilce. Luckily, the books start with a similar idea but go in completely different directions. (Watch out for those old stuffed animals, though!) The Flora books are for a somewhat older group of readers, but are also excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another winning YA Fantasy
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2013

Rather that stay with her tried and true Dragon Adventure series (Dragonskin Slippers, etc), Jessica Day George introduces us to a new fantasy setting with new heroes, a new princess, and what may be the largest character yet- the Castle itself.

Fascinating idea, slightly reminiscent of Gormengast or Castle Perilous , The Castle here is alive and aware- and can grow new rooms and hallways over night. What's more, Castle Glower loves and cares for it's royals- as long as they love and care for it. And that's exactly what Princess Celie does.

But then the King and Queen have to leave, and a hostile take-over is threatened? What will the 11yo princess and her royal siblings do? How much really, can a Castle help?

I also liked the realistic and non-violent touches, there isn't a lot of swordplay or bloodletting here, just three very smart kids and their castle vs some baddies.

Wonderful book for those 8-80. A real page turner.

A fun book. I really enjoyed reading this book. A close family, never mind that they are royal, is threatened and work together to save there home and family. Oh, and did I mention the castle is alive, and is constantly changing, chooses the next king, supporting the royal family, and has rather amusing ways of expressing its displeasure?

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to laugh. Young readers (9+) to adults should enjoy this fun romp through an enchanted castle trying to outwit a bunch of traitors and assassins. Jessica Day George's book always have a good, quick pace that flows easily. A hard book to put down.
