The Castle in the Attic

by Elizabeth Winthrop

William receives a miniature castle and discovers that its tiny inhabitants are real, including a knight who needs help resisting an evil wizard. When William is pulled into the castle's world, he must become smaller in body and larger in courage. The adventure tests loyalty, imagination, and his willingness to act without adult rescue. Classic fantasy with a cozy edge, this novel suits family reading about courage and hidden worlds.
