In this gripping medieval page-turner, Roger and his sister Alice are
kidnapped and held for ransom in an ancient tower. To escape and find their
uncle, the children must summon all their courage and imagination. "Designed as
easy-reading material for middle-graders, this has the virtues of an attractive
format and illustrations, a fast plot, and even a feminist fillip: Alice is the
more intrepid of the siblings, Roger's gifts are for music and
ventriloquism."-- "Bulletin, Center for Children's Books.
