		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s a classic? Well, to most of you, its&#8217; probably a long, boring book that evil educational administrators are forcing you to read over your all-too-short summer vacation.

		<description><![CDATA[I heard that this book was brought back into print because Ms. Rowling of Harry Potter fame said it was one of her favs. Well, thank goodness she said something, &#8217;cause this Castle is not to be missed! Cassandra and her wacky family live in a crumbling English castle, leased when her famous writer father [...]]]></description>
