Knight's Castle, by Edward Eager, illustrated by N.M. Bodecker

Knight's Castle, by Edward Eager, starts out with two kids called Roger and Ann who are going to Baltimore, Maryland to go to their cousin's house. ON the train one of Roger's toys came to life and spoke to him. Roger could not believe it and asked to see what he was seeing. The toy had a name which was Sir Walter Scott. Roger and Ann always played with these knight toys but what they did not know was was seemed play to them was actually real combat for the toys, just that it happened in their own book. Sir Walter had given the kids some kind of magic which allowed them to become the size of the toys. Roger and Ann soon found out that the castle is in some kind of trouble and that they were the only ones who could help. I would recommend this book to readers who like to read fantasy books. I love reading fantasy books and I like to imagine myself in the book. You could say that the book shows this. It makes me wonder what these times were really like. I like everyone to read this book although it may look like it's for kids but once you start reading it's a good story. -Reviewed by L.u, grade 9.
