Summary: Amazing adventure!
Review: Goblins in the Castle is truly one of the best works of fiction I have ever read in my life. I have read it many times over and I enjoy it every time. Nothing about it gets old to me. I have introduced the book to many of my friends and they all have borrowed and read it with sheer delight, all giving the same review of, "Goblins in the Castle rules! " This book is non-stop adventure as William, an 11 year old boy, unknowingly lets the goblin's souls out of the North Tower on Halloween night. The goblins are now loose and William has to find a way to get them back in to the tower. He has help from friends along the way such as Igor, Fauna, and Herky. Throughout the book he hears different opinions of many people and in the end, has to make a decision over what to do about the situation. Really, this book is a million times better than my description of it. I beg of you, if you only read one book in your life, read "Goblins in the Castle". It stretches the imagination, and brings out the adventure in us all.

Summary: Goblins in the Castle a review by Garrett
Review: Goblins In the Castle

Would you want to be the person who locks up evil goblins in the

Seventh Tower? Bruce Coville explains a story about a boy named William, the

protagonist, and all of his adventures with his new friends.

William is normally as quiet as a mouse in his home at Toad in a Cage

Castle. However, when William meets a strange creature named Igor, he

can't stop asking questions. Igor is very skittish and he likes to hit people with

his bear .Although his clothes are rags, he has a very strange and

important job.

Almost every night William hears noises coming from the Seventh

Tower. The baron [the proprietor of the castle] told William to not go near

the seventh tower. However, this night the noises are calling his name!

Somehow he is drawn to the Seventh Tower and opens the door. Angry

goblins are in the Seventh Tower and now they're unleashing horror on the land!

In the end William and Igor team up with a clever girl and a very

skittish, good goblin. Will the four of them be able to defeat the goblins? I

encourage you to read Goblins in the Castle by Bruce Coville.

Review: I was in junior high in the early 90s when this book was for sale the school book fair. It was one of the first fantasy books I ever read, and it really made me fall in love with the genre. It's the only book I read more than 5-10 times. I still have it, though it's a bit below my reading level now. I still love the rich imagination Bruce Coville has when he wrote this book. Parents, get this for your kids. They really will love it.

Summary: A Grand Adventure for those Young & Old!
Review: Of all Bruce Coville's works (and all children's authors at that!), this is most certainly the grandest!

This story pits a young boy named William on a timeless jouney to uncover the secret of a mysterious noise he hears in in a forbidden tower in his abode. It sounds like a simple plot, but it snowballs into a grand epic adventure.

This book is a must read for every person who wants a lighthearted read and a taste of childlike wonder and humor.

William lives a hard life because he was found on a castle steps. He grows up not knowing who his parents are. Stop and think If you don't know who your parents are,wouldn't you be curious. William found out what is in the north tower but I am not going to tell you what it is.He finally knew that you should always believe in something that you can't even see or hear it because it is there.

Review: This is a great book. I have read it to my 4th and 5th grade students and to my own children and they have all loved it. It has just the right mix of "scary" and funny to keep the reader's (or listener's!) interest. This book is not one of Bruce Coville's best known stories, but once you read it, it WILL be one of your favorites!
