Review
Piers Torday is the new master of books for children who like magic and modernity with their lust for adventure ... Torday understands the lot of the younger sibling, the power of the imagination to heal and the strong, irregular rhythms of grief (The Times)
Heartbreaking, surprising, uplifting - Mouse's snowbound journey is one you'll remember for a long, long time. There May Be a Castle proves that stories matter. They really do (The Bookbag)
Piers Torday continues to demonstrate that he is one of the best writers for children working today (The Guardian)
Original, ingenious and bold ... I am still reeling. (The Sunday Times)
Brimming with humour and excitement ... beautifully described and the tension never breaks (Philip Womack Scoop)
Heart-warming and heart-wrenching ... another fantastic tale from Piers Torday and one not to miss. (Carousel)
An outstanding book and a future classic (School Librarian)
Mesmerising and overwhelming with emotion. (Booktrust)
Full marks ... for a story not afraid to take on some of the fundamentals of life while still managing to preserve the lightest of touches (Books For Keeps)
If you were to dislike this book, I would not be your friend! (Omer (aged 11))
