Summary
Beloved #1 bestselling authors James Patterson and Emily Raymond deliver a thrilling novel about a teen caught between two worlds and the truths that could set her free—or trap her forever。
My name is Hannah Dory and I need you to believe me
NOW: Hannah is brought to Belman Psych， told she is suffering from hallucinations and delusions。 Hannah knows the truth: she must return to the past and save her sister。 Could Jordan， the abnormal psych student who seems to truly care， be the answer she’s looking for？
1347: Hannah and her village are starving to death in a brutal winter。 Hannah seeks out food and salvation in the baron’s castle。 If she is caught stealing， she will surely hang。 But if she and her friends succeed， she’ll save everyone she holds dear。
NOW: Jordan isn’t sure what to believe， and Hannah has even bigger problems: if she doesn’t make it back， her sister will die， but if she keeps going back， she might never escape。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Don’t let the title confuse you， The Girl in the Castle isn’t about a young woman who time travels from present day New York to the medieval times or 1347。 It’s about a girl， with a traumatic past and her trying to cope with it。 I went into this book pretty much thinking this was a ya fantasy but quickly realized that wasn’t the case， however， it was so much more then what I thought it was going to be， I couldn’t put it down。 I unfortunately didn’t have the time to read much but when I found it， Don’t let the title confuse you， The Girl in the Castle isn’t about a young woman who time travels from present day New York to the medieval times or 1347。 It’s about a girl， with a traumatic past and her trying to cope with it。 I went into this book pretty much thinking this was a ya fantasy but quickly realized that wasn’t the case， however， it was so much more then what I thought it was going to be， I couldn’t put it down。 I unfortunately didn’t have the time to read much but when I found it， I was reaching for The Girl in the Castle。 It felt very much like a thrilling ya novel but like I’ve started， it’s much more。 If you’re into dual timelines， mystery and intrigue， mental health representation galore and a charming young man who’s just trying to help， The Girl in the Castle could be for you。 Note: this definitely has triggers for some， I would 100% research this book before starting it！ 。。。more

This was a tough read。 Let's face it， reading about people with mental illness is uncomfortable and this was no exception。 The book's concept was interesting though， and of course it was well written。 This was a tough read。 Let's face it， reading about people with mental illness is uncomfortable and this was no exception。 The book's concept was interesting though， and of course it was well written。 。。。more

LOVED the book。 It shed light on the complicated nature of psychiatric dysfunction and treatment。 It supported empathy and open-mindedness in those who don’t understand why people are who they are。

Wow！This is unlike any James Patterson I have read before。 It almost had a Stephen King feel to it （think 11-22-63 or Fairy Tale）。 I was captivated from the first page and couldn’t put this book down。 The scenes in the Psych Ward and in the castle seemed real and very moving。 I highly recommend this book。

Girl， Interrupted with a time travel twist！Hannah is a "frequent flyer" at the Belman Psych ward， suffering from what doctors think are vivid hallucinations and schizophrenia。 But Hannah is torn between two worlds -- today's and a village in the early 1300's。 In Hannah's village， her family and neighbors are starving， dying in the streets， and it is up to her to find a way to save them。 But every time she wakes up in today's world， she worries her family in the village won't be able to survive a Girl， Interrupted with a time travel twist！Hannah is a "frequent flyer" at the Belman Psych ward， suffering from what doctors think are vivid hallucinations and schizophrenia。 But Hannah is torn between two worlds -- today's and a village in the early 1300's。 In Hannah's village， her family and neighbors are starving， dying in the streets， and it is up to her to find a way to save them。 But every time she wakes up in today's world， she worries her family in the village won't be able to survive and begs to go back。。。 But who can help her when they all think she's dreaming and that her other world doesn't exist？ How can she break the time travel cycle？ And which world does she really belong to？ Jordan， a student intern， is captivated by her and wants to help her in any way that he can， but how can he save her from a world he doesn't think really exists？Thoughts: This is such a fast-paced， easily readible book， and I can't wait to add it to my high school's collection！ There's a lot of death and sadness， especially through the first half of the book， but the quick chapters help readers move through the plot without dwelling too much。 There are shaes of Girl， Interrupted with the psych ward setting and a few of the secondary characters， and I actually wish there was more scenes in the 1300's because Patterson and Raymond brought us back in time in a way that I couldn't get enough of， especially the scenes with Hannah and the baron。 The commentaries on mental health were realistic and poignant， and while the ending was a bit rushed and slightly disappointing in my opinion， it was also realistic given the circumstances。 Reluctant readers， fantasy readers， realistic fiction readers， and readers of a genre I like to call "Tough Topics" will appreciate this book and its readibility， quality， and depth。**Thank you， NOVL， for this ARC！** 。。。more

2。5/5。 I'm not really sure what happened， there was two different things going on with two very different times and that's about the most that I got from it。 I'm definitely not the intended audience with this book as I've written it off and don't intend to deep dive into theories throughout message boards and stuff。 I saw it， read it， don't understand it fully and I'm moving on。 2。5/5。 I'm not really sure what happened， there was two different things going on with two very different times and that's about the most that I got from it。 I'm definitely not the intended audience with this book as I've written it off and don't intend to deep dive into theories throughout message boards and stuff。 I saw it， read it， don't understand it fully and I'm moving on。 。。。more

Interesting， I must tell because till almost the end I didn't know of Hannah was a time travel or a poor girl with a gore past。 Suspence and well described characters make this book a good Reading。 And mental illness Is a delicate topic。 I liked very much the end 。 Interesting， I must tell because till almost the end I didn't know of Hannah was a time travel or a poor girl with a gore past。 Suspence and well described characters make this book a good Reading。 And mental illness Is a delicate topic。 I liked very much the end 。 。。。more

Very interesting with well developed characters and a surprise ending。 It sheds light on the mental health crisis and lack of treatment for most。 At times I felt it dragged on but overall， I could not put it down。

The girl isn’t in that castle wasn’t what I would thought it would but but still ended up being a great book！ It was thought provoking and enthralling。 The ending warmed my heart in I way I wouldn’t have guessed from a James Patterson book。

The Girl in the Castle by James Patterson and Emily Raymond is a Young Adult Novel about a young adult named Hannah Doe who time travels between the present day and 1347。 Hannah is brought into Belman Psych after what police thought was an episode in New York City and is told she is schizophrenic。 Is she really though？Thank you， NetGalley and LittleBrown Books for Young Readers， for the digital format of an Advanced Readers Copy of The Girl in the Castle by James Patterson and Emily Raymond。 I w The Girl in the Castle by James Patterson and Emily Raymond is a Young Adult Novel about a young adult named Hannah Doe who time travels between the present day and 1347。 Hannah is brought into Belman Psych after what police thought was an episode in New York City and is told she is schizophrenic。 Is she really though？Thank you， NetGalley and LittleBrown Books for Young Readers， for the digital format of an Advanced Readers Copy of The Girl in the Castle by James Patterson and Emily Raymond。 I was delighted to be selected to review this book before it's publication。The synopsis for The Girl in the Castle was intriguing， and the cover art was amazing。 When I sat down to read this book， I wasn't sure what direction the authors were going to take。 I was expecting this book to be YA Fantasy。 There was a twinge of disappointment when I realized that it wasn't。 However， this book was a phenomenal read and one that took me less than twenty-four hours to finish。Although it was a little slow to start， the storyline quickly ramped up and dealt with mental health in teenagers and young adults。 This may not be the book for those who deal with this issue on a daily basis and/or have had someone commit suicide。 I felt like James Patterson and Emily Raymond did a nice job showing the reader what someone with mental illness might go through while living in a psychiatric facility and even what doctors， nurses， and interns experience。Other than the book being a little slow at the beginning， there wasn't really anything negative I could say about The Girl in the Castle by James Patterson and Emily Raymond。 I would love to see a follow up to this story。 Four out of five stars。Follow Me: Blog | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Pinterest | TikTok | YouTube 。。。more
