THE BATTLE FOR THE CASTLE

In a lavish, full-cast production, Winthrop's sequel to The Castle in the Attic springs to life for young listeners. At 12, short-statured William receives the magic token that allows him to once again shrink and enter the world of Sir Simon's castle in the attic. This time, his best friend, nasally voiced Jason, accompanies him, and William is afforded an opportunity to prove his mettle in a world other than his own. The delightful Words Take Wing cast, including author Bruce Coville reading three parts, and Winthrop herself as narrator, creates a world sure to entice and satisfy the many fantasy fans who have sprung up in the wake of the Harry Potter craze.
