Bookroo's summary

Celie and her siblings are whisked away by Castle Glower to a mysterious land. Stranded with only her pet griffin, Rufus, they must navigate a forest filled with secrets. Encountering two enigmatic wizards and a lost civilization, they uncover the ancient mysteries of the Castle. But can these newfound allies help them return home, or will the Castle's secrets keep them forever? As Celie delves deeper, she must decide whom to trust in a world where the past holds the key to their future. Adventure and discovery await in this magical journey.

From the publisher

Thursday brings even more adventure in this delightful New York Times bestselling series from Jessica Day George. Castle Glower has been acting weird, so it’s no surprise when two towers transport Celie and her siblings to an unknown land. When they realize that no one from home is coming to get them, the kids–along with Celie’s pet griffin Rufus–set out through the forest to figure out where they are and what’s happened to their beloved Castle. Instead, they discover two wizards and an entire lost people, the oldest inhabitants of Castle Glower. And it seems they may know more of the Castle’s secrets than Celie. But do they know how to get her back home? This bestselling series continues with the story of the origin of Castle Glower. Readers who’ve been enchanted by the Castle’s moving walls will be delighted by the Castle’s rich and magical history.
