The Battle for the Castle, by Elizabeth Winthrop
3.0
This book was all right - it wasn't as good as the first one but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
It's okay, slightly longer than the first one, but the ending still felt rushed. The beginning makes you think that it's going to be about growing up and finding new friends because the old ones changed - but nope, it wasn't about that. There were some attempts at swearing but no 12 year old says Blast instead of the f bomb trust me - that part felt a little bit awkward and could have easily be left out.
Oh yeah and if Sir Simon had an important part in the first book he is barely in this one because he leaves fir a tournament at the beginning of the story and only comes back at the end after the entire story is done- that was kind of disappointing.
