Praise for A Tale of Two Castles
“A thoroughly delicious romp from the author of Ella Enchanted. . . . The plot is winningly unpredictable, the characters easy to relate to, the humor subtle and the action well-paced. Newbery Honor–winner Levine has once again breathed new life into old stories.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Readers are certain to be pulled, like Elodie herself, right into the midst of the rich and swirling life of Two Castles.” —School Library Journal
“Carson crafts a persuasive fantasy realm and a capable heroine. Readers . . . will likely anticipate further sleuthing adventures with this companionable duo.” —Publishers Weekly
