Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
A magical replica of a castle transports William to adventures in another land in these companion novels. Ages 8-12.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6 A satisfying quest fantasy with a strong element of modern realism which will appeal to a wide range of readers.

To undo his rash deed, William must be miniaturized himself and accompany the silver knight, Sir Simon, on a quest to overthrow Alastor, a wicked magician who long ago usurped the throne of what should have been Sir Simon's kingdom. William's pure and gentle heart enables him to triumph over both the magician and his own childish yearning to possess Mrs. Phillips. The plot is carefully constructe
