The language, though, is beautiful, with words perfectly chosen and sentences elegantly crafted. Technically, this book is a joy to read and shows its young readers a dazzling possibility of language while never straying from the accessible. A twist in the story's tail would have lifted it from the pleasant to the super, but as it is I think it unlikely ''The Castle Corona'' will be read more than once. It's one to borrow from the library or buy and pass on.
My thanks to the nice people at Bloomsbury for sending the book. We also have a review of [[The Boy on the Porch by Sharon Creech]].
Those looking for a similar feel but slightly more challenge might enjoy [[Blue Flame (Perfect Fire Trilogy) by Katie Grant]].
