About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is standing on the threshold of independence and needs a gentle nudge to see the world as a place of wonder rather than worry. It is perfect for the child who feels a bit small in a big world, or for those nights when the shadows in the room feel a little too long. Nora's journey to the abandoned castle on the hill is a beautiful masterclass in self-reliance and the power of a child's imagination to transform the unknown into a welcoming home. Through Nora's eyes, an old, dusty fortress becomes a place of magic shared with her loyal toys and the local wildlife. The story nurtures bravery and curiosity, showing that even the most mysterious places are often just waiting for a friend. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary children who are beginning to explore their own boundaries and learning to find comfort in their own capabilities.
