I can't praise them highly enough as great works of historical fiction for young children. My five year old son can't get enough of this book. He loves it so much that I recently purchased the Pirate Diary for him. I didn't pay attention to editions or dimensions. I just purchased it. Well, it was tiny, about 5x6 compared to the large and lavish 10x13 first edition Castle Diary that we own. Also, instead of full page, full color illustrations there were black and white sketches here and there. So, I checked out the Castle Diary book again on Amazon and the same thing has been done. Look carefully at what you're ordering. The first editions are very large and gorgeously illustrated in full color with the text interspersed throughout. The editions available now are much smaller. They are mainly text with a few black and white sketches.I am so saddened by what they have done to these books. In their original form, they are five star books for sure. I can only give four stars to the newer editions, however. The writing is the same but they have lost their picture book charm which made them accessible to younger kids. Even for older kids, however, a picture is worth a thousand words and would surely be greatly appreciated.In short, I would rather own a used first edition of these books than a brand new copy of the modified version. I just wanted to point out the difference to prospective buyers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it! *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2021* I had to read this book for school, at first i was not really exited about it because school is boring and all, but once i started reading it i realized that its a really good book!! It's fun to read and it is also educational. Would recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was a good book. The story and the feel really makes the magic work. *by J***9 on Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2021* I chose 5 stars because like I said it just feels real and feels medieval. I really love the view and story it gives. ## Frequently Bought Together - Castle Diary - Midwife's Apprentice --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/4880046-castle-diary-the-journal-of-tobias-burgess-a-middle-grade](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/4880046-castle-diary-the-journal-of-tobias-burgess-a-middle-grade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
