Read as an audiobook.
Quick comments: If the writing and story had been pushed more, it wouldn't have just been a "good for middle grade" book. Still a nice read!

All the characters in The Castle Corona seem to want to be someone else. The orphans Pia and Enzio dream about being royalty, getting to ride horses and eat rich foods and have other people to do work for them. The members of the royal family all wish to be regular folks who don't have the responsibilities of the royalty. In an interesting twist of events, the orphans find themselves at the castle... and things start to change.
A satisfying fairy tale with an ending I didn't see coming, I'd recommend The Castle Corona to fans of fairy tales and fantasy. The audio recording was great and narrator Jennifer Wiltsie does great voices for each character.

Her other books were amazing! Then I read this one and go "meh" and feel sad. There was no plot. It was a dizzy thought that was confusing and dull to read. I finished because I really wanted to like it. It was just bad.
