## Series Description

Tuesdays at Castle Glower are Princess Celie's favorite days. That's because on Tuesdays the Castle adds a new room, a turret, or sometimes even an entire wing. No one ever knows what the Castle will do next, and no one-other than Celie, that is-takes the time to map out the new additions.

Each book is about a new adventure for the Glower Children. Some of the adventurs include traveling to another dimensional world where they bring back Griffins.

## World Building

### Setting

Most of the events in the books take place in a magical Castle that every Tuesday changes by adding a room or sometimes taking away a room. The castle will also alter passageways, create new doors or expand rooms, depending on how well the Castle likes the occupant and the occupants needs.

In addition to the castle’s magical ability to change its shape, it also possesses a mind and will of its own. The king consults it on important questions and even takes its advice about whom to name as his successor. Castle Glower feels a particular affection for Celie, and she returns its devotion by trying to understand it better than anyone else.

### Fantasy Elements
