this book is hilarious and sent me laughing hysterically with every sentence.

It is a good book because they get lost and find a castle. But the name goes with it.

This book is my favourite because it is a great story and it can paint a picture in your head.I would recommend this to anyone who likes an adventure story and likes twist in stories, because this has a lot of exciting twists.

This book is not my cup of tea but it might be ideal for someone else but the good thing is that it has adventure and it would be good for someone that likes peaceful a story.

I really enjoyed this book because it was very excited and tense. I also liked how the characters personalities changed from start to finish because at the start Alice is very shy and quiet but at the end she's very brave and confident. Also on the cover of the book there is a review saying unputdownable and I 100 percent agree with that

A great book with a good plot, exciting villains and an amazing journey. In my opinion the best part was the climax at the end.

Even though I enjoyed this book, I didn't find it as interesting as the other books which i have read during this amazing experience . Natasha Farrant wrote a fantastic book which many children will read and love .Overall , this book was good however it just isn't the style of book that I like reading. I do suggest this book to anyone who likes an adventure story.Congrats to Natasha for writing an absolutely fabulous book which loads of people will love ! xxx

This book was not my favourite book ? but it may be a good choice for people who enjoy this kind of story. I would recommended this to people who want a long read and I would say this book is good for ages 10+

You have to pay really good attention to understand the overall plot of the book ?.

I did not hate or not enjoy the book it was just not the kind of book I personally prefer to read .

This book is really enjoyable and I love that everything was unpredictable on every page I read. I think there were too many things going on.

This book was great! Although I think the main character's actions were very unnatural and unpredictable. I think the actions could be explained in more detail as I got very confused at why she was acting that way.

I loved this book a lot and would definitely recommend it . At parts it was very intriguing but sometimes it could get a bit less exciting . Overall I thougrly enjoyed this book .

I really enjoyed this book because it was really adventurous and exciting. Also it was very tense and nerve racking which made me never want to put it down. On the front of the book there is a review saying unputdownable and I absolutely agree with that.

this book was good but i think it isn't as good as the other books i have read.

I actually really enjoyed reading THE CHILDREN OF CASTLE ROCK it was really interesting and 100000% funny. i loved the humor! good look everone1

Great book. It was quite absorbing and I felt as if I really knew all of the characters. Their personalities seemed so realistic. Very unique in the sense that it had that narrator type thing where it would personally address and talk to me at certain points.

i prefer other books because this book was quite boring bi struggled to read because it was so boring.

I would rate this book 4 out of 5 because the storyline was unusual and you don't see this style often. But the story didn't really hook me in or make me want to carry on reading.

The characters are very realistic and the storyline is very well planned but the lack of excitement and surprises is why I have rated it a 3/5.

This book was tremendous. Definitely one of my favourite books. Just thought it could of been slightly more exciting at the end. Apart from that it was awesome.

Its a great book , many cliffhangers throughout.Its emotional at times and in my honest opinion I couldn't really get into the book until I got more into it and it became a great book. Would recommend it to ages above 9 .

I enjoyed this book so much. My favorite character was Fergus because he is funny and ginger! It was very exciting and very scary at times as well.

This book is amazing! It's got loads of detail and is realistic but it is a bit boring at the beginning but gets really exciting and dangerous. I recommend this book.

This book is just weird. At some points it is good but at others it just gets boring. I'm really confused as to why there is a working shower and washing machine in an ABANDONED house! I would recommend this book to people who like adventure stories and drama stories. Just to say it puts these * in there because the children swear. My favourite character was Furgus because he is really funny and protective of his friend Alice. So this book gets a 3/5 from me!

I loved this book so much I think it might be my favourite book I've read in the Book Awards. My favourite character was Fergus because he was a rebel. §§§I would recommend this book to people who like a mystery and an adventure with a twist ending.

I thought a girl going to a boarding school would not be that unique however it felt like I was reading a classic. Page after page of heart-warming fun. I was up all night reading it!

The book was quiet boring because it was very slow. Near the middle of the book it started to have more mysteries in it. I liked the orienteering part at the start.

I think the book had a very slow start. It was an adventure story with a few mysteries. The only bit I quite enjoyed was when the orienteering challenge started. The rest of the book was less enjoyable.

This book was OK but I think that it was not the best the best for me was

the Infinite lives of Masie day.

I really liked this book it was a fun experience to read it

This book was okay because some parts of it very confusing. It had some complicated words in it but when I got on the actual adventure it got really exciting and wanted to finish reading it.

This book was great but I wasn't that excited to keep reading. I really liked all the adventure though. Some parts made me teary but other than that I really enjoyed the book and I loved the story's setting was based on some of the authors childhood memories. I would highly recommend this book to people who really enjoy adventure stories because you would really enjoy it.

Wow wow wow this book was amazing a really good adventure and a great story!

I loved this book, I thought it was AMAZING. There were so many unexpected twists and it was sad but exciting and scary all at the same time! It was DEFINITELY worth reading.I loved every single second of it. My favourite character was Fergus because he was so funny and interesting but Alice and Jesse were both really good as well. What I loved most is how unique and different they are from each other but also work really well as a team because they are so different!

Wow, this book was amazing. It had a great storyline where a girl called Alice goes on an adventure with her new friends. Watch out some people may not be who they say they are!

I thought this book was good because of its mystery element . Whenever I finished a chapter I always wanted to read more even when I knew I had to go to to bed. I would recommend this book to to people who like adventure.

It was OK and my favorite character was Fergus.

This was a fantastic story, I loved all of the adventures that it included. The children of castle rock is a 5 out of 5 for me!

It was interesting. I liked the mystery. I liked the part when the author described cherry grange. I like Jesse.

I liked the adventure where there was lots of dangers and there was a point where they thought somebody had done something and it was dramatic. My favourite character was probably the girl.

It was a great book but wasn't really for me. I didn't really get the plot but others might. I wasn't really enjoying at first but I still read it. Other people might enjoy it.

This book was the best book I've read so far. I felt inside the story. The was adventurous and emotional. I'd recommend it in the 7-15 category.

I love the mischief, the adventure, it was totally worth my time to read I can't get over it!

this book is really adventurous i wish i was able to go on an adventure.

i didn't like this book as much as i did the others beacuse i was qutie confuseing to me

I love this book it is so adventerous i might even buy a copy myself! Not only this, you are so amazing with writing your stories no wonder your an author!

The children of castle rock is so fun to read. I want to read it over and over again . I like the characters of the book and that's why I give it 5 out of 5.

This was a very adventurous book; however, it was not very exciting. I recommend this book.xxx

The book was okay ;however I felt it was quite lengthy and I didn't like it much .

The Children of Castle Rock was an awesome book,which had lots of twists and turns.It made me laugh,it made me sad,it made me happy,it made me relieved and it made me anxious;the emotions it made me feel is one of the things I loved about it.It really caught me in and the vocabulary it used as well as the way it was worded was amazing.This book took me on adventure as well as (the main character)Alice Mistlewaithe and her two new friends ,whose names are Jesse Okuyo and Fergus Mackenzie.

I enjoyed this heart-warming adventure of Alice, Fergus and my favourite character; Jesse. I liked Jesse as he was a fast runner and an adventurer. I felt happy whilst they were happy too and sad whilst they were also sad aswell.

I found it was a very exciting book to read and I would reccomend it to ks2 kids.This now puts this book into 1st place as in good books replacing the chocolate factory ghost.

This book was an unputdownable and was a gripping book. I think anyone who reads it will love it! i would recommend it to anyone who love adventure. i would to read another one of her books.

It could have had more action in the first half but the second half was great.

I really liked this book especially when the three children set of to do the orienteering challenge.At first I did n`t think that this book would be very good but when I started reading the first few pages I could n`t put it down! To begin the orienteering challenge, the three children were not very good friends but in the end they were the best friends ever!This story really shows that friendship always comes first.

I love this book! I haven`t even read it all and cant put it down!My favorite part so far is when Alice and Fergus started to laugh in the assembly and everyone else started as well.Also the really funny bit is when the headmaster said that the kitten`s mum had to eat there faeces and when Fergus told them what faeces meant everyone went ewwww! I love this book and can`t put it down.I will continue reading it and if i could i would give it one MILLION stars :)

i love this book the front cover might not look interesting but it has loads of description the reason i like it is because its got adventures in and i just could't stop reading it because it was just so good i would buy this book for sure the book goes into loads of description and it really sets the scene

A very unexpected story line

I didn't like The Children Of Castle Rock it was EXTREMELY BORING!!!It just wasn't the right type of book for me.I would NOT recommend it.

UNPUTDOWNABLE

i enjoyed the book and i liked what they were doing in the book i won't say i'll let you read it to find out, i am giving it a 4 out of 5. thankyou

I hated it completely. The plot was all over the place and confused me.

It is not the type of book I would ever read.

It was nice for a change though

good but not good enough for 5 stars.good for people who like adventure

I really loved The Children of Castle Rock because each chapter ended on a cliffhanger to keep the reader enthralled and built up suspension for what was to happen next! The critics were right, it does have echoes of J K Rowling and is one of the many reasons I loved it. I would recommend this book to anybody.

This book was amazing and I love how it shows how they are feeling and the description was amazing. When I first started reading the book, it was hard to put it down. I think it is a great book for anyone who likes adventure and kind of emotional books.

Because of this books title, it gives the impression of a ordinary story with a boring plotline. When you read the book you find it is completely different; I loved the characters in this book and I feel that Natasha Farrant gives a new meaning to ' boarding-school adventure'. I would definitely recommend this book.

I liked this book a little because of the not really good start but it was really fun in the end because you didn't know what was going to happen next

This book was ok. I didn't like how it went on and on, it could of been a lot shorter.

I liked it but it was a little complicated to read but overall a great read and I would read it again and I would recommend it.

It was a great book it’s very adventurous.Its a great read for 8+ most words I could understand but there was a few that I didn’t.Other than that I would recommend this to young people who like books about adventures.

When I started reading this book,I didn’t think that it would be that good, but when you got into it it was amazing.I really like the way the author described all of the characters and the setting really well. I would recommend this book to anyone as it was really good.

This book was amazing! It had the perfect amount of mystery and adventure that I didn't want to put it down. The ending surprised me and I also like how the characters have secrets. Overall, I loved reading this book and I would definitely recommend it to someone who likes going on an adventure whilst reading.

I really enjoyed this book although I think the beginning dragged on a bit. Despite this I loved it and would really like to know where Natasha here brilliant ides from. This book seemed so realistic especially the friendship

between Alice, Fergus and Jesse. I would definitely recommend this book people who like action and mystery.

This is one of the best books that I've read,I couldn't put it down

It is an adventure and i would recommend this to everyone.it builds up tension throughout the book and is very good.

Amazing!!!!! love this book the start was a bit boring but i still enjoyed it!!!! The end was a bit confusing but still in enjoying it it was very enjoyable and a right good thriller.

I really enjoyed this book, it was witty and full of exiting changes. I could feel for the characters and loved the exiting action and tension building moments.

I thought this book was absolutely GREAT, although the first part [in my opinion ] didn't need as much detail as it had. I really liked the plot and would love to meet with this author and discuss how she finds all those brilliant ideas. Also, I'd love to do an orienteering challenge like that. Please write more books like these Natasha!

This book is soooooo good some might even describe the book as unputdownable!

WOW! This book was absolutely amazing! I loved how the author started the book by describing the house. This is my favourite book so far! 5/5!!

This book was described as an adventure story, but it did not really turn out to be one. It is about a girl called Alice and a group of friends in a boarding school. Alice receives a package which she has to deliver to someone and goes on an adventure to make the delivery.

Jess was my favourite character in the book because when he hurt himself by falling and spraining his ankle he was very resillient and still carried on doing what he loved; which was running.

This story did not make me laugh or cry at all. It did not grip me because I did not feel like reading it as I did not find it very interesting. So the phrase 'unputdownable' should have not been have put on the front cover in my opinion.

I would recommend the book to children older than me because of the swearing. In my opinion there is hardly any adventure in the book, until you get to the last three / four chapters. This is where the book started to get more interesting. I think this book would be better in a series because then it can carry on the adventure and would make it a better story.

This book is about a group of friends from boarding school who receive a parcel and it starts them off on a adventure. Jesse is my favourite character because she is like my cousin. It got boring on the first 2/3 chapters. It was inappropriate it had swearing in it. I would recommend this book to a teenager because of the swearing.

I thought that this book was awesome, I loved the story and stayed up all night reading it, a real page turner. My favourite character is Alice because she’s so loyal, and I definitely recommend it to others!

I thought this book was amazing although at the start it was a bit confusing but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It was full of adventure and makes you want to read more.

I wanted to say 5 out of 5 but nothing is perfect. the introduction was a bit boring however when you got to the middle bit it amazes you!!! I would definitely say you should read this book because it makes you go WOW !

I really enjoyed this book. I love that it combined a bit of humour and a gripping story but I think that it was a bit rushed towards the end.

it was exciting and adventurous SUPER EXCITING

This book is about a girl who lives with her family.

My favourite character was Alice because she reminds me of my cousin.The characters did feel real to me because they was all brave.Yes the story kept me guessing.The end was the best part because it was more interesting.The mysterious scene was was written well.I found it difficult to understand parts that wasn’t written well.

When i read this book i feel like I'm in it and adventuring through the castle where alice goes to school.This book is so adventures and i really like it.

The Children of castle Rock was pretty good but some parts were boring.I liked the beggining because the way it described the boarding School was great.

I liked that the girl was going on a adventure

This book is about a girl who goes to bording school and meets a few friends . She receives a package and thats sets her of onto the journey .

What i liked was that it told you all about there personality's . However what i didn't like was that is took ages to get to the adventure and the start was a bit boring . It got better at the end though .

Overall , this book was quite good but it took ages to get to the point .

This book is about a group of friends from boarding school about to go to the isle of Nish all because of a parcel. Jesse is my favourite character because of his personality. However I got bored in the first 2/3rds. It was rude because of the fact that there was swearing in it. It didn’t make me cry and grip me. I’d recommend it to an older person because of the amount of relationships.

This story is an adventure story.For me it was more of a mystery.Its a story about a girl,that starts a boarding school.She meets some people which are her friends,they receive a package which sets them off on a adventure.

This story was a slow burner for me.In the first couple of chapters it was all about relationships and introducing characters.This book is more appropriate for young adults or teenagers.The story didn't grip me or keep me turning the pages at all.My favourite character was Alice because she wants a lot of adventure.

I wish this book was a series so there is more adventure and the story develops more not like in this one book.The vocabulary was difficult and I needed to ask my mum and dad what the words meant.

I loved this book and my favourite character was Fergus because he was always trying to beat Jesse in things he also tried to impress Alice and the best bit was when he basically ran into a bog. I loved this book because I like going on adventures but I also like reading about adventures so I give you a 5 out of 5 Natasha Farrant.

This was a exciting book i really enjoyed it but there was a few times when you I would get confused because it would jump from place to place however it was really exciting and i wold definitely recommend it as it was really good.

THE CHILDREN OF CASTLE ROCK is a great book.I know that everyone who reads this book will love it.

I give this book a 4 because i do not like how Alice has told Fergus about her father only . This book is amazing I advise you to read it !

This book is amazing and I would highly recommend it if you like adventure books.

I loved this book as it had mystery and adventure

I liked the book because I thought it was adventurous.I was hooked from the first chapter and it kept me interested right until the last page.I liked the way that Alice rebelled against her parents because they sent her to boarding school.I thought the ending could be better because we didn't get enough information about her dad.

It is a fantastic book abut a girl called alice,who is sent to a bording school but has to break the rules because there is a quest in store.This book is amazing!

This book was AMAZING!!!! Perfect amount of mystery and adventure. I would really recommend this book.It also tells you a bit about boarding school which is quite fun. Just an extraordinary book.

Wow what an amazing book. The ending was very unexpected and I didn't think it would end this way.At first I wasn't very keen but as I read more I coulden't stop reading.I Would definitly recommend this book to anyone who likes an adventure.

The children of castle rock is a very confusing book. The topics change through out the book and you get very confused. The author didn't really describe the characters at all so you don't know what they look like or what personalities are. I am also extremely confused about the working washing machine and shower in an abandoned house. Overall, this book is not one of my favourites so it gets a 3 out of 5.

This book is like it says on the the front

Unputadownable it is so AMAZING I love it so much my facilities big was when alice and furgus where trying to tell Jesse their real plan

The Children of Castle Rock,is a book that when you start reading a couple of words you are lost inside the depths of it;I could not put it down! Natasha Farrant (who is the author of the book) has structured it very well as part of it links to her life. Now that i have read the book, I would recommend it to someone who likes visiting Scotland and someone who likes adventures. I would rate this book a 5 out of 5 as it is AMAZING so get your hands on it NOW1

This book was like it said unputadownable.It was action packed and I stayed up all night reading it. My favourite part was when they kept on betraying each other. I would recommend this book to people who like adventures. I rated this 5 out of 5 because it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

I think the comments on the front were accurate when they said it is unput down-able. Both my headteacher and main class teacher said it was a classic and it was like the books they used to read as kids. One of my favourite parts was when Alice and Fergus where trying to find the right moment to tell Jesse the real plan they had in mind.

I gave it a 4 out of 5 only because some times i would have to skim past some bits to get to the exiting part.

Personally, not one of my favourites, I didn't really enjoy parts of the book that much due to the fact it was about a boarding school. It was not the type of genre and setting of my liking, although some characters were very interesting.

I really liked this book because it is full of adventure and very interesting

This book is really interesting and i stayed up all night reading.

I really liked this book and the characters made me laugh. I would recommend reading this book as it is very funny.

I found this book very interesting and there was a plot twist right in the end which intrigued me to finish the book in one sitting!

I liked this book because it was very adventurous and interesting and my favourite character was fergus because he was the leader of the group.

This book was amazing and made my jaw drop half of the time, I would highly recommend this book to anyone over the age of 9-10. I would read the book again if i could. My favourite character was Alice Mistlethwaite because she has a great and exciting personality that made you question it every time she did something new.

You would really enjoy this book if you like adventures and mysteries.Three children on a quest at their boarding school and come a long a thew thing along the way.My favourite character was Alice.

I thought this book was really adventurous and enjoyable and picked up pace towards the end. The final chapters were really exciting and gripping; I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good adventure story.

it was a fab book with plenty of adventure

this book was good. i would recommend it to people who like adventures.

The book was amazing . I thought the book would be extremally boring because of the picture on the front and the title . Although I have now learnt to never judge a book by it's cover . It's a 5 out of 5 from me.

i wasn't to keen, I got bored after a while but I still read it and it will be liked by an adventurous person I am but being left alone on a trip not my thing and I can be fine left alone at home but not out on a trip.

I loved the book and really wish that there were more books just like this and would recommend this to people who like mystery, surprises and adventure. I would love to read a series onward to this about more of Alice, Fergus and Jesse's adventures.

I would give this a 4 out of 5 because the first part of the book was slow and uninteresting for me so I decided to look at other reviews to see what other people thought of this book and say they were mainly good so I eventually got to the second part and it was more interesting in my opinion.So my overall review of this book is a 4 out of 5 because I think the second part made up for the first. This was my final book and I am looking forward to the near future.

The Children of Castle Rock is an intriguing read; it keeps you interested throughout. i like the fact Natasha Farrant writes it as if she is there and how she keeps referring back to earlier moments. This is one of my favourite books and i will definitely read it again so that's why i would rate it a 5 out of 5.

It was a very thrilling adventure.I would recommend this book to children over the age of 9.

this book was so amazing! i started it, it took a while to get into it but when i did i couldn't put it down! by the next morning I had already read part 1 and a few more chapters. I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!!

It was an excellent book to read, and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the characters and their adventures. It was extremely well written and exciting. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading, as it was a pleasure to read.

I rate this book a 3/5 because it wasn't my favorite one I have read yet. I am glad that I read The Children Of Castle Rock as I did enjoy it. I also rate this book a 3/5 because I did find a couple of type errors. It was a adventurous book and I did enjoy it.

Its a good novel- ambitious vocabulary, great story line, unexpected friends and dangers, I felt as if I were there. A few misspells, but who cares about them when there is a good book read? :)

It is a great book, stayed up all night with my dog and has great adventures if your that type of person.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone over the age of 9.

I liked this book because this is aimed at people who like adventure stories and I thought it was the best adventure ever

I loved reading this book so much as it has so many gripping twists and turns.I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is a thrill-seeker or just generally a curious , adventurous person.

The book is all about a girl called Alice who's life gets turned upside down after she finds out that shes going to a boarding school! After she finally settled down the great orienteering challenge springs on her!

this book story wise was actually better than what I expected but I read lots of pages that were unnecessary and were just fillers. the book dragged on and focused too much on description which got very boring to read. this book would be a lot shorter if it just focused on the story which would have made it more enjoyable to read. because of this I rate it 2 out of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book, its mysterious and adventurous! I really love the determination in the characters. Its about making friends, the adventures you can have with friendship, determination and you can really feel the sad, awkward and happy feelings throughout the book (which I like.)

This book was amazing, I cannot wait to read Natasha Farrant's next book!

This book seemed ok at the start but then it just got a bit boring for me and it’s just not my type of book. Children of Castle Rock is just a bit confusing and repetitive. The other reviews say this book is great but not for me and that’s why I rated it a 2 out of 5.

I really enjoyed reading this book.It included lots of exciting adventures and an unexpected ending which I was surprised at.I loved how the characters had secrets ,which changed your emotions on them, and that there was always a mystery coming up when you least expect it.

This was AMAZING!The reason I rated it a 5 stars is because it was one of my favourite books I have ever read!I loved reading this simply because it has a lot adventure in it.It was really my kind of book and I would definitely recommend this for people who are really into adventure.I really like the characters in this book and I think they would be great in another story and maybe they could go on another adventure!

This book is a masterpiece! The characters are built to be exactly like the main demographic and there are references to other books such as Harry Potter which it is very similar to.

i looooooveeeeed the book so much that i thought that there was a book two and i just loved it and couldn't stop reading because it was that fabulous to read.

This book was extremely joyful and exciting to read.I found myself being captivated into the story.At the start I found it quite slow paced and struggled to persevere, but once it got to the cliffhanger I couldn’t put it down.

This book is very good, but has a few swear words show using stars, so wouldn't be great for little ones. It is very hard to predict what is going to happen next, which is good as if it was easy it would be a boring story.

I thought that it was an amazing book and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves adventures. It really pulls you into the story and you feel like you get to know the characters so well. I loved the characters that Natasha Farrant created and my favourite was the unpredictable Alice.

This book was good but there were some bad quality. This book is about a girl named Alice that goes to a unusual school in Scotland and she goes on a mysterious adventure.

My favourite character Fergus because he was unique and was different to all the other characters. The characters did not feel real because we were not provided with enough description of the character.

This story slightly kept me guessing because of the mysterious statue.

My favourite part of the book was the start because it described what was going on.

I would like some more tension and build up on the book.

I thought this was an amazing book that was full of adventure, twists and a great story line. So I decided to give it a 4/5.

I really enjoyed this book I liked the fact it wasn't really dangerous but it was really adventurous and I liked the idea and theme of the book I would love to read a sequel if one comes out

The Children Of Castle Rock was an intriguing adventure adventure story with twist and turns throughout.I was reading almost 20 pages a day;it was amazing.After a mysterious parcel is given to Alice,she and her best friends -Fergus and Jesse-go and find her father.Anyone reading it will enjoy it.At the end of the book, my heart melted at what happend.

Very good book.Stayed up all night reading it with my dog.Lots of description and speech.

This a very good adventure story by Natasha Farrant. It kept me up all night and i loved reading it. Alice [the main character] is a mischevious child.

I love this book.

I loved this adventure story because of the amazing adventures. I would recommend the book to anyone over the age of nine(especially if you like adventure). Because all the characters were fabulous,I couldn't choose a favourite. All the way through the book, there were brilliant adventures. The book was great.

This book is a really good read but towards the middle it gets a bit boring and repetitive but overall it is a good adventure story with a great end. My favourite character was Alice because she had a good heart.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the adventure and slight hint of comedy.I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading Enid Blyton and Emma Carol because the story line and characters are similar to those they write about.The book is about a girl called Alice who gets sent off to an unusual boarding school in the Scottish highlands.There, she makes friends with boy-genius and mischief-maker Fergus and rule abiding Jesse. She follows a dangerous plan to reach her criminal mastermind father on a far away Scottish highland.

I loved this book because it is so good with the emotions that it uses and I love how most of the characters change their average ways for example Alice used to be quiet and calm but now she speaks a lot and she is now writing stories about characters just like her friends this is why I give the book a 5.

loved it it was quite like an Enid Blyton but it was also great in its own special way

I liked castle rock at the middle and end because the three children were very mischievous and always got into trouble.At the start it was not very eventful but it got better.

Loved this book I couldn’t put it down it was a mix of all my favourite books in one it was full of adventure and mystery and I felt a rush of emotions come at me with every page I turned definitely recommend

It was the best book ive read yet. It had so much suspense and made you want to read on. Once i read the book fir bout 6 hours because its that good.

A first ithought it was a little bit slow but as i got into the story and the characters i really enjoyed it. The story had both sad and tense moments that kept me reading

I have only just started reading this book but I already love it. The main character reminds me of myself and it comforts me to know she likes reading and writing too.It is very descriptive and informative. A great read for experienced readers who love books. I would recommend this inspirational book to everyone. It is heartbreaking how Alice has such a tragic backstory. It is utterly beautiful. The children of castle rock is an amazing book. It's just my cup of tea. Natasha Farrant is a brilliant author. I would even go as far to say it is koodus!

This book [The children of castle rock] is an amazing adventure story. Once you read this book you wll never wan tto put it down.

The main characters are Fergus Alice and Jesse . They are three adventurous children and one of them(Jesse) is a good child but needs to break a few rules to help Alice,Fergus and Jesse even hurt themselves to help Alice I gave it 4/5 because in some parts it didn’t make sense and I got confused.

This book is a great book and the adventure that was in The Children of Castle Rock was amazing it is a book that anyone would like. That is why I gave 5/5.

It's one of the BEST books this year.

This book was one of the best books i have ever read and when reading it i couldn't put the book down because of it's amazing suspense. I think this book is absulutely brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that this book was really intriguing and I would definitely read it again.I was also very excited to find out what the parcel was.

This book is made up of lots of different adventures. The storyline is amazing it's about a girl whose mother has died and she becomes very quiet,

she gets sent to boarding school and meats two friend ( Jesse and Fergus.)

each character ends up being very different by the end of the book. The description makes you feel like you were in the book. Also, you could feel the characters emotions like you were a part of them.

This book is brilliant and is beautiful in some ways if you like sadness and adventure this book is for you.

I didn't really like this book for it was quite boring and dull

Alice Misthlethwaite is sent to a boarding school in Scotland but when her dad misses visiting day Alice is upset.Fergus,Alice and Jesse go on an exiting adventure but it isn't easy. The characters felt real to me and my favorite part of the book is when they were running away from people; it was tense and mysterious.My favorite character is Alice because she is brave. I would recommend it to 9-11 years and I would give the book 5 out of 5.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure or detective stories - or both. I liked the mystery element and how all the parts of the book fit together really well. I would definitely want to go to Stormy Loch and have lots of adventures. I love the fact that Alice bases her world around reading and writing like me.

I really didn't like this book as it didn't have much description and went through the plot too quickly. Because of this, I couldn't really feel for characters when something bad happened. I could see why someone would enjoy this book if they like Enid Blyton-esque books but it wasn't for me.

I would rate this book five because it is full of sdventure! Also once you have read one chapter you want read another and once you read that chapter you want to read another and so on.?

I found it amazing to read one of my favourite books now

I loved this book, especially the second part and I would recommend it to people who love adventure. It took me a while to get into the book as the first three chapters were difficult to understand.

I liked this book because the house cherry grange was named for the tree. this book was amazing

A brilliant adventure story full of friendship, excitement and mystery. Fergus, Alice and Jesse all in their own ways were trustworthy and talented. I used to get butterflies in my stomach when someone was unveiling a truth or making a critical choice. I love the bonding among the three children. It was a remarkable story.

I wasn't expecting the book to be very good but really enjoyed it. The title makes it sound like it'd be quite boring from my perspective but isn't and really exciting. The fact that there's criminals is what I like and my kind of book.

i rate this book four stars, because it's very easy to understand very adventurous and easy to read without having to have to search for the meaning of words. What I didn't like, was the ending of the book that

I didn't think it was very interesting. However, the book was very interesting and very surprising. I liked it.

I loved this book. It was like being transported to another world of betrayal, chaos and adventure. I loved all of the characters and I simply just could not put the book down. It was just too astounding for words. I didn't go to my tap lesson that day so all I did was read it. I hope I can find another book like it but nothing would (and could) replace such a warming in the heart story.It would be too much for words to read it. I can't wait until I can get my hands on another one of her books again. 100 OUT OF 100, I love you and your books Natasha Farrant.

OMG!!!!! This book was so amazingly, gloriously, wonderfully unputdownable that I nearly stayed up all night reading it. I love the humour and the root of the story is brilliant. It was an utter cracker and I like how at the end of every paragraph it is left on a cliff hanger. I felt like I was a character in the book.

An Amazing And Thrilling Story!

To be honest,

It is a good book and it is a really nice storyline too

As it being an adventure story, I really enjoyed it

I like it,it's pretty good.Its an adventure with lots of exciting cliffhangers but if you aren't liking this book then wait for part two it changes the scene a lot.

This adventure book was amazing, there were many enjoyable parts. The story made me read till about 1 in the morning and at times made me feel emotional(sad,happy and worried). I would recommend this book for children over the age of 8. I personally really liked how Natasha,who is the author of The Children of Castle Rock,showed the letters and postcards in pictures so we could really see what it looked like. The setting description was great but the character description wasn't as good:the only thing that described the character's in detail was the cover of the book.

It is fun and you don’t know what will happen

I loved the book my favourite characters are Fergus, Jesse and Alice of course. I don't really read read books like this. the ending was brilliant.

I really enjoyed reading this book because I don't normally read stuff like it and I was surprised on how good it was. I would definitely recommend this book because it shows a girl going through a hard time and I think a lot of people can relate to that also it challenged me a bit and I always like a book like that.

This is an amazing book were a girl goes on a thrilling adventure but also leading herself into big trouble. This is a very hear-warming book and i would love to read this again. I recommend this book for children over the age of 9.

I loved the book, it was a real twist. I would recommend this to anyone who loves adventure.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is a great adventure and a very heart-warming book. I would recommend this to adventurous people over the age of 8 as this book is also upsetting. I didn't want this amazing book to end!

I enjoyed the book and its really interesting although some words are complicated. I recommend this book to children who are 8 and above.

I recommend this book for ages above 7 years because it makes you think a lot about what it says as well as it making you feel like you are in the book. You want to read on until you get to the end!

I absolutely loved this book.Although it gets a bit boring at some points it's really exciting if a little un believeable

I really liked this book because it was very exciting and you didn't expect some the things that happens. It was very adventurous and surprising

It is a really good book and I really enjoyed reading it. I love books about boarding schools and it is like Enid Blyton and JK Rowling. It has a quite slow start but Part 2 and the end of Part 1 is amazing! The ending is the best bit because it is really tense and funny! I feel like I am friends with the characters, especially Alice! I would recommend this book to everyone!!

I think the book was really good because it is like Alice,Jesse and Fergus are your best friends.My favourite parts are when Fergus and Jesse stick up for Alice against her dad.

I really enjoyed this book. It was very Enid Blyton style and it enticed the reader. I found the book quite emotional in some parts but it was really mysterious and by the end I felt like I knew the characters. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone!

Wow! This book really showed me I can do anything! The plot is so good and unexpected! It goes on and on before delivering the final punch! I would definitely recommend it!

i really enjoyed this book and it is a very good book for children 8-13 and it will be a very popular book .

At the bigginig it took a while to get hooked into the basic storie base but then it began to build up suspense and action. The main character sort of reminded me of myself loving to daydream and make my stories based on my actions. The only thing for me was the lack of character expression and the limited description of the characters as well

i am really enjoying this book so far as it is a good book and it really gets the reader hooked in straight away. So far this is probably one of the best books I have ever read. the author has really thought about writing this book.

I loved this book because it taught me to say my opinion and not think about the negative possibilities.??

this book wasn't the best nor the worst it was a bit in-between it was quite like realistic at pint but most was fantasy.

I thought that the beginning was a bit hard to get into and it wasn’t the best. But when it got to Part 2 it got better and more mysterious. I am really enjoying it now so give it a chance if it you are thinking it is a bit rubbish!

I like this book because it made me feel like I was actually in the book it was that detailed and it had some really good vocabulary in it and I really like chapter 1

I love the book, it has a great mystery behind it. It is very interesting and it WILL draw you into the it, the plot makes sense, but the reason why I didn't rate it up to 5, is because I did find some parts a little confusing, soon after, I understood and it went along with what I was reading. I definitely would recommend to people who like mystery stories, with a twist.

I loved the book but I just feel that the start of the book was dragging on a bit. But aside from that, I loved the mystery. I liked how at the school everyone had a talent. I would have loved to have gone to that school!

very funny at some points, a great adventure for thrill-seeking children but at some points a little confusing.

The book was surprising it started from a day at boarding school to a mysterious adventure

The book was very interesting, adventurous and full of surprises. It gives us a lot of information and leaves you questioning in your mind. I really enjoyed reading it because the characters had different personalities and opinions.

I really enjoyed reading this book because,all the time it was a mystery and i kept wondering what would happen next.

This book was adventurous,but mysterious at the same time. Also it was full of surprises.

The book was detailed it showed Alice's emotions well. The adventures where full of mysteries and surprises. You never knew what would come next.The author kept you waiting to build up the suspense for the adventures.
