Items related to The Girl in the Tower
The Girl in the Tower by Lisa Schroeder is a magical tale about family and finding your strengths, full of haunting illustrations from award-winning artist, Nicoletta Ceccoli.
Ever since she could remember, Violet and her mother have been locked away in a tower by the evil Queen Bogdana, who has the kingdom under her spell. The queen has all she wants except one thing―beauty. Violet possesses this beauty. She also has a secret: though she is very small, both her spirit and her heart are mighty.
When Violet is summoned by Bogdana to start training to become a real princess, it seems like her life might be taking a turn for the better. But hope quickly fades when Violet's mother is expelled from the castle and they're forbidden to see each other ever again. With everyone's lives in the balance, it's up to Violet to break the spell and reunite her family.
Praise for The Girl with the Tower:
"Recommended for fans of fairy tales and modern Disney princesses." ―School Library Journal
"Kids will find it easy to root for determined Violet as she sets out to secure her family’s freedom. . . her courage and hope light up the pages of this sweetly quaint fairy tale."―Publishers Weekly

About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Lisa Schroeder is the author of over a dozen books for kids and teens, including the YA novels I Heart You, You Haunt Me, and The Bridge from Me to You and the middle grade novels It's Raining Cupcakes and My Secret Guide to Paris. She loves tea and cookies, flowers, family hikes, books and movies that make her laugh and cry, and sunshine. Living in Oregon, she doesn't get nearly enough sunshine, but the hikes are amazing.
Nicoletta Ceccoli is the award-winning illustrator of many children's books, including The Boo! Book by Nathaniel Lachenmeyer, Little Red Riding Hood by Josephine Evetts-Secker, and Cinderella by Sarah Thompson. She studied animation at the Institute of Art in Urbino and currently resides in her native Republic of San Marino, Italy.
Gr 3–5—Ten-year-old Violet is locked away in a castle tower with her mother, where she's been held since birth. She keeps sane by enjoying a vivid imaginary life, where she pretends to be a pirate and an artist. She is heartily encouraged by her mother to always remain positive. When one day the castle's wicked queen takes an unusual interest in Violet, she is unknowingly thrust into an evil plot. Forced to decide between her true destiny and the luxurious life of a princess, Violet makes tough decisions based on character and courage rather than fantasy and greed. Lines like "If I can survive all these years in this tower, I believe I can do anything!" make Violet appealing as a fairy tale heroine. The setting, though nonspecific, is typical of traditional fairy tales in period and design. The writing style and vocabulary are accessible and the story is well paced. It could also serve as a nice read-aloud for younger listeners not quite ready for the fractured fairy tale retellings of Gail Carson Levine or Shannon Hale. VERDICT Recommended for fans of fairy tales and modern Disney princesses.—Pilar Okeson, Washington D.C. Public Library
