A review by dianareadsalot
Lonely Castle in the Mirror by Mizuki Tsujimura
4.0
This book is far from my norm. I read it for my book club.
Sometimes, when you read something and the mood you're in matters, my review might reflect that. I read this book while rather ill. Seriously, folks, I felt like I was dying.
The main thing is, did I like this book? Would I recommend it.
Yes, and yes.
You follow 7 kids who, for some reason, don't want to attend school. Those 7 kids are able to enter into another place ( the castle) through their mirrors.
The kids are allowed to go to this castle for a certain amount of time. They also have a challenge they need to complete by a certain date. There are rules they must follow. Things are not what you think or are they?
While the kids are visiting the castle, we also learn why they don't go to school.
This is the mental health part of the book.
Nothing is ever really explained about what issues they have. You have to figure out anxiety, depression etc yourself.
I don't think it took anything away from the book.
Naturally, someone breaks a rule or do they and things happen.
Then the kids learn why they are there, what to do about going not going to school. Lots of decisions are made.
It's really hard to write a review when I'm I'll, so forgive me. It's really hard not to give something away.
I liked it cause I really connected with the main character and the whole not going to school thing.
I thought how it was wrapped up was good, but it could have been better, hence my 3 stars.
