My book review on - The Siege of Caerlverock by Barbara Henderson

This is a book based in the year 1300 about a girl called Ada who is a strong and brave 12 year old girl, who becomes best friends with an 8 year old boy called Godfrey. This book is about a historic castle and what happens when there was a war in the olden days and about how badly people, prisoners and servants were treated. It is a story that shows friendship and bravery and the characters fight for what they believe is right and are very heroic.
Not only is this book exciting but it is also action packed. It features lots of historic references using different terminology for things, so if you love history you will love this book.

I think this is an interesting book and I would definitely like to visit the location now after reading this book.


I would rate this book 7.5 only due to there being some difficult words. There is a reference guide to these words at the back which is helpful for some of them. It's the first type of book that I have read with older words. Thank you for letting me experience this.




I lent this book to my Grandma and she said, "The book gripped me from the first chapter and I wanted to read more. Ada and Godfrey were exceptional children, Brave and older than their years. They just wanted to do the right thing and help others. The story was exiting throughout and historical as well ".



Overall I would recommend this book.
