#MiddleGradeMay Update! I finished The Castle in the Mist by Amy Ephron. It was an enchanting story that sort of lost me in the end. I'll give it four stars; it was still very enjoyable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #AmyEphron @amyephron #books #series #TheCastleintheMist

(Use 'LISA10' to save!) ----------------------------------------------- 📖Synopsis: Tess and Max travel behind the walls of a magical castle where wishes really do come true—if the hawthorne trees don’t get you first. . Tess and Max are sent to the English countryside for the summer and long for some excitement. So when Tess, out for a walk alone, happens upon an ornately carved gate and an old brass key, she decides to see what’s inside. To her amazement, she discovers the grounds of a castle filled with swans, bullfrogs, a hedge maze, an old-fashioned carnival, and a boy, William, just her age. William invites Tess back, and she can’t wait to return, this time with her brother. . But strange things happen at William’s castle. Carnival games are paid for in wishes, dreams seem to come alive, and then there’s William’s warning: Beware the hawthorne trees. A warning that chills Tess to the bone. . In the end it’s up to Tess to save her family and her friends from being trapped forever in the world beyond the hawthorns—but will one wish be enough? .
