This is a fun and lighthearted read that tackles a fairly dark subject. While the villain of the book tries to kill and displace the royal family in order to take over the kingdom, the royal children, with the help of the castle, try to thwart the sinister machinations of the villain. While that does sound fairly heavy, this book keeps everything upbeat. It is filled with whimsy and sibling comradery. And, what can I say, I'm a sucker for anthropomorphic buildings.
This book is fast paced with a solid plot and clever characters. It is cute, sweet, and fun. And it really embraces the notion of family and strong sibling bonds.
