Book Reviews of The SILVER CROWNBook Review: Detailed Silver Crown Book Review Summary: 5 Stars
I remembered clearly that I read this book in 3rd grade. All my information are 100% correct.It was about a girl named Ellen who once found a silver crown beside her on her bed when she woke up. She went to the woods and imgined a castle. However, a mysterious thing happened to her house and her family when the house mysteriously disappeared. She then went to find the help of a policeman and the policeman was shot by a mysterious green-masked man. Then Ellen decided to go to her aunt's house in Blue Oaks, Kentucky. She went to a gas station and met a strange man named Mr. Gates. He also wanted to go to Blue Oaks and he drove down a fake highway to the place. However, he seemed strange when he got periodical amnesia and Ellen decided to go alone to her aunt's house. In a gas station in a night, she ran away from the gas station into the woods and Mr. Gates never found her. Then she met a boy named Otto when she tried to get some drink. He took her to his house and slept their for many days. However, a stranger came looking for Ellen. The mother of Otto wanted Ellen to leave because it was safer for her and Ellen and Otto left on a deserted road. Many times, they had to struggle through caves, blockades and rivers. A stranger was periodically looking for Ellen for some unknown reason. Finally they had adventures in the Black Castle. There Otto was made a pupil of the fake school. Ellen sneaked in but she was later captured. She spent time in jail when she met Jenny, a jail guard and Brother Michael. She met the king with the Black Crown who told her about a missing Silver Crown. Ellen realized that she had buried it in a cave. Later, Ellen stole out of the castle and went to retrieve the crown with Jenny and Otto. Jenny stole it and Ellen returned to the castle. However, when Ellen was almost on trial, Jenny threw the Crown back to Ellen and Ellen was able to control the people of the Castle by wearing the Crown. She later found her parents in the dungeon. Then, they lived in her aunt's house. I like this book because this book has much adventure and intriguing plots. It also gave me a mystery to solve at the beginning: Why did the mydterious people chase after Ellen? I liked the fantasy of it.
Summary of The SILVER CROWNOn her tenth birthday, Ellen wakes up to find a silver crown on her pillow; a few minutes later her house burns up, her parents disappear, and she is launched on an adventure involving a trek through the woods, a castle full of brainwashed captives, and the powerful Hieronymus Machine which wants her crown.
