COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Fantastic start to a great series submitted by scrabbler on July 19, 2016, 11:16pm This is such a good book, and there are two sequels to dig into after this one. It' reminded me of "I capture the castle." Highly recommended.
A hidden gem submitted by lauraklocinski on June 21, 2022, 12:50pm This series deserves more recognition. A captivating epistolary story about three teenagers living in an isolated castle on a fictitious island during World War II. Modern, lovable characters navigate a fascinating time in history.
