About the Book<\/h2><p><em>The Castle in the Attic<\/em> follows William, a boy who adores Mrs. Phillips, his longtime nanny and closest companion. When she announces she is returning to England, William panics at the thought of losing her. Using a magical Janus medal, he shrinks Mrs. Phillips to keep her from leaving and places her inside the toy castle in the attic, only to discover the castle is truly enchanted. Inside lives Sir Simon, a knight who has lost his kingdom to the evil wizard Alastor.<\/p><p>Sir Simon begs William to shrink himself and join the quest to defeat Alastor, reclaim the kingdom, and retrieve the missing half of the Janus medal so Mrs. Phillips can return to her normal size. William agrees, stepping into a medieval world filled with danger, magic, and moral challenges. As he trains with Sir Simon, confronts his fears, and faces Alastor\u2019s cruelty, William learns that true courage means conquering the fear within himself.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
