One of the classic fantastical adventures of all time! William has just received the best present of his life—an old, real-looking stone and wooden model of a castle, with a drawbridge, a moat, and a fingerhigh knight to guard the gates. It’s the mysterious castle his housekeeper has told him about, and even though William is sad she’s leaving, now the castle is his! William can’t wait to play with the castle—he’s certain there’s something magical about it. And sure enough, when he picks up the tiny silver knight, it comes alive in his hand! Sir Simon tells William a mighty story of wild sorcery, wizards, and magic. And suddenly William is off on a fantastic quest to another land and another time—where a fiery dragon and an evil wizard are waiting to do battle.Rating Based On Books The Castle in the Attic (The Castle In The Attic #1)

One of my favorites from childhood. I need to read it again, but I remember loving it. I was probably in the fourth or fifth grade and I had to read this for a book report. I remember being so caught up in the story about a boy who enters his toy castle to fight evil. Obviously the details escape me, but check it out it's great.
This was better when I read it in 4th grade.
Remembered this vaguely from my youth, picked up and re-read. Most of what I remembered of the plot was quite inaccurate.Wasn't sure if DS1 (age 8) would like it, but he did, and has asked for the sequel. Hopefully this means that he's getting interested in fantasy - my list of suggestions for him is long!
I just read this to my 2 boys (ages 6 & 4) for a bedtime read & I was a little surprised at how much they loved it. It's about a boy who has an adventure with a play castle & knight which come to life. It isn't a book you have to edit at all in the reading & it's captivating to any little boy who wishes he could be a hero. I can't even tell you how fast those turkeys got ready for bed while we were reading this, I hope I can find another one that captures their attention as much
Read aloud with my 9yo. Not quite as enchanting as I remember. However, my daughter loved it and gives it 5 stars.
This book was a lot of fun. The moment when he faces the dragon and has to stare into it's eyes caused a lot of stuff reflection. It teaches good morals. It teaches how to face challenges and fears.
