Castle of Shadows

Revolution whispers through the air and Charlie is powerless to stop it. Then she discovers a clue: an unfinished letter scribbled by her mother years ago.  Charlie doesn’t understand the danger her mother writes about but she knows she absolutely must be found, and together they can save the king, and the kingdom.

Five years ago, the queen disappeared without a trace. Now eleven-year-old Princess Charlotte, “Charlie”, has found a letter written by her mother the queen in a library book.  Charlie decides to take matters into her own hands and begins to search in earnest for her mother, uncovering all manner of secrets that have been lurking in the castle shadows for the past five years. 

With Tobias the gardener’s boy as her ally, Charlie leaves the castle for the first time in five years and strives to locate her mother and save her father from his madness, as well as saving the country.  Charlie is a resourceful girl who is not without faults.  Her growth as she searches for her mother and learns whom she can trust makes for an excellent read.
