The Witches of Glass Castle By: Gabriella Lapore





  
The Witches of the Glass Castle          ****
By: Gabriella Lapore

This was the author's 1st novel, originally published in 2011, and since revived in 2014 by another publisher.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was a page turner for sure. The book is well suited for middle school age and older [ meaning no sex scenes, no gory scenes]. I loved the dark, eerie book cover.

What's the best advice you can give 2 young teens who have just discovered that they are witches?
Keep your friends close and you enemies closer.

The story follows brother and sister, Dino and Mia, as they are sent to Glass Castle to learn their “gifts”, along with the other young witches. As each struggles to discover, define and develop their separate powers, danger is lurking in the forest at the castle's edge.

Each chapter seems to bring more knowledge, along with more dangerous twists.

My favorite page in the book: {Colt and Mia are out in the cemetery in the rain, Colt is asking Mia to make it stop raining......... }

Quoted from book:

'Whatever,' she said, exasperated. 'Anyway, I'm not doing this .' Mia looked up to the gloomy, purple sky.

'Yes, you are.' . . .

It looks like you', he said. 'It smells like you. How else can I put this?
It is you.'

She stared blankly at him. 'Huh?'

'You're everywhere.'



This book would be a great addition to any school library.

I received this ebook free in exchange for my honest review.
