I enjoyed this book so much, I have read it twice.

William is ten-years-old when he finds out that his house-keeper/nanny is going to leave him. Mrs. Phillips says,"He is old enough to take care of himself now." William is afraid that with busy parents he will be left alone.
Before she parts for England, Mrs. Phillips gives William a very special gift. She takes him up to the attic and shows him a very large, fully functional castle. He has to be brave, in order to have the castle, which has been in Mrs. Phillips family for many many years. There is only one knight that comes with the castle, the silver knight. Mrs. Phillips tells William that there is a story passed down through her family, that the silver knight is under a spell, and that one day he will come back to life.
There is magic, spells and trickery within the walls of the castle. Not only will William need to be brave and stand on his own, but he will need to help end an evil curse.

You will enjoy reading about the life and times of the silver knight, as you join William on an adventure, back to the times of knights and ladies.
