Review By: Angelica Soeun
Grade: 10
English Teacher: Mrs. Chavez
In The Castle at Llyr the mood is tense and surprising. There is one conflict after another and it makes the reader more and more curious. The viewer wants to keep on reading! The book has many suspenseful parts and there are many events where you are able to imagine the details. I would recommend this for students who like adventure novels. The book is like a journey when you read it. All of the characters have their own thoughts and feelings and there are many obstacles they have to face. Students who are interested in adventure books should read The Castle at Llyr by Lloyd Alexander.
