GRIFFIN'S CASTLE
By Jenny Nimmo

Lonely and friendless from constantly moving, Dinah finds herself wishing the animal statues protecting a nearby Welsh castle would keep her company. Suddenly, to Dinah's delight, the stone animals start to magically spring from the walls and follow her home. But when the animals refuse to let Dinah leave her house, she quickly realizes that these mysterious creatures aren't rescuing her, they're imprisoning her. . . .

Excerpt:
A tall house loomed before Dinah.  She stood at the gate, trying to make out what it really looked like, but its features were blurred in the gloom.  So she had to rely on her imagination and saw narrow lancet windows and the great oak door of a castle.
