Celie, Rolf and Lilah, along with Celie’s griffin, have been pulled to a place unknown by the tower of Castle Glower. They think they are in the place where the castle originally came from, and maybe they will find out the truth about the castle’s origins and about the griffins. The trio finds them right in the middle of a vicious argument between two wizards - a fight that could destroy them and the castle.
Wow - this so did not go in any direction that I thought it might from the first two in the series. I had to disassociate from the other two in order to judge this one on its own merits. While I liked the idea of learning about the castle’s past, but the two villains in this story are very flat and unpersonable; the plot does not save the story from these unappealing characters. If the series has been successful in your library, then you will be buying it.

Thanks Cindy! I would have bought this without reading it for my library. Sad to hear it's not excellent!
