They were sent to Scotland for safety.
Instead, they found a castle full of secrets.
When World War II forces three siblings, led by oldest sister Kat Bateson, out of London during the Blitz, they are evacuated to Scotland-and deposited at Rookskill Castle, a vast estate, now so-called school that feels anything but safe.
Strange rules. Locked doors. Whispered warnings. A strange headmistress with secrets of her own. And other children who begin to disappear.
As Kat struggles to adjust, she begins to sense that something in Rookskill Castle is watching all the children. Hallways shift. Shadows linger. And behind the castle's walls lies a secret tied to both magic and survival.
With danger closing in and trust hard to come by, the children must rely on one another to uncover the truth-and Kat must decide how much courage it takes to protect not only herself, but the children who have nowhere else to turn.
The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle is a middle grade historical fantasy set during World War II, blending gentle magic with real history, mystery, and heart. Perfect for readers ages 9-12, it will appeal to fans of classic children's novels that explore bravery, resilience, and the power of family in uncertain times.
Ideal for classrooms, book clubs, and readers who love magical castles, wartime adventures, and stories that linger long after the final page.
