I didn't read this children's book until a couple of years ago, but it instantly became one of my favorites. Cassandra is a shy (second child) who lives with her bohemian family in a castle somewhere really damp in England. Basically it’s a story about a girl who is overshadowed by everyone else, especially her beautiful older sister. When two American boys move to town, the plot gets complicated. The father has also been in jail at one point for threatening his now-dead wife with a butter knife. Lots of funny scenes, including one with a supposed bear… beside all the crazy situations “I Capture the Castle” is a bittersweet story about growing up. The movie is also pretty good.

Great book, great story, great setting. Only reason it didn't get 4 stars was because it didn't exactly "hit the spot" with details. I found myself hanging over a cliff with the child-neglect in the story, but I didn't get saved by the writer! In other words, some disappointment prevailed upon finishing the book. All in all, it was a lovely book!
