I hated the king at the start of the book as he put his son in jail and his wife the Queen.
Not bad.
Good
This book is about history and it presents us with the 10 statues of United Kingdom and it shows us that evil never wins.

This book is about a little boy, Prince Alfred who longs to leave his home of Buckingham Palace and explore London. When Alfred's mother, the Queen, is taken away to the Tower of London, he goes on an adventure to save her and must fight the mysterious Griffin.
Really good book, exciting and scary at the same time!

I thought this book was gorgeous , although it could be quite sad in places.
I didn’t like it as it was too much an emotional story. Lots of dying.
It was exiting, interesting and amazing!!!! I loved it and it kept me hanging till the end.
It kept me interested and entertained all the way through.
It was all incredible. I liked all characters but if I need to pick one I would it would be the Royal Guards.
I liked the part when prince Alfred escaped from the tower of london and helped Grammy and her ladies in waiting make Big Ben bong 13 times.
A bit scary
I liked the surprise where the queen was actually a revolutionary. I also thought that the king was mean or under a spell at the beginning, when he sent the queen and Alfred to the Tower of London to be tortured,but it turned out he did it for their own good.
