Kings of the Castle

A story of moonbathing, sandcastle building, and a seemingly impossible friendship.

George didn’t want to waste the night moonbathing. He wanted to build a sandcastle that would turn any monster green eyed with envy. But when George meets the strangest creature he has ever seen, the night takes an unexpected turn. A starlight story of adventure and imagination from the creator of The Sea Tiger.

‘With echoes of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, this also has a message about kindness to refugees.’
Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times

‘An accomplished celebration of play, imagination and friendship.’
Fiona Noble, The Bookseller

‘A splendid vision of what dreams can build, and a reminder of the riches that lie unseen in the people (and monsters) all around us.’
Publishers Weekly

‘A marvelous journey worth taking.’
Kirkus Reviews

‘A fantastical tale of friendship and acceptance that will be enjoyed by many young readers.’
School Library Journal
