The Last Siege by Jonathan Stroud

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A boring Christmas vacation morphed into an adventure Emily never expected.

A group of children – loner Emily, local troublemaker Simon, and the decidedly off-beat Marcus – decide to break into the local ruined castle to look around, at Marcus’s urging. However, once they’re inside, they decide to come back to spend the night… and then once they’ve begun defending the keep, how long can they hold out against the siege of adults come to take them home? And why don’t they want to go home?

I really enjoyed this one. It was realistic with great believable dialog from the teens. It is well-written, humorous, and has plenty of action.
