A castle which have so many magical things and spirits in it. The story in this book was included many things such as friendship, hate and love. Magical things, society issues, issues that parents and children usually have. And also the most lovable thing, the be self message that the author wanted to give for her readers.

If you want me to talk about a book that I enjoyed reading because I had to think a lot, I would say "The Enchanted Castle" by E. Nesbit. I bought it when I was 14 in a bookstore. I was drawn to it by its pink cover, which I found very cute at that time. The book tells the story of a group of friends who discover a magical castle filled with spirits and fantastical creatures. The story explores themes of friendship, love, hate, and societal issues, as well as the complex relationship between parents and children. It also delivers a powerful message about self-acceptance and finding your own voice. The book is the kind that you can't put down once you start reading. I loved it because it motivated me and helped me cope with frustration and negative emotions at that time. I used to recommend it to all my friends in school.
