It is the arrival of two handsome boys (one of which happens to be son of one of the owner’s) and some possibly mysterious guests that enliven Sophie’s life. In preparation of the Christmas holidays the owners have also hired a lot of additional staff which includes three girls who enjoy bullying and belittling Sophie. Sophie however enjoys the atmosphere of the place and it is only when she is assigned the role of babysitter that she begins to feel discontented. Many finds its traditional decor to be outdated and the general lack of modernity to be a nuisance. The hotel is no longer considered the luxury location it used to be. Nevertheless, with its Clue meets Scooby Doo story this latest novel by Kerstin Gier makes for an entertaining, if silly, read.Ī Castle in the Clouds follows the misadventures of Sophie Spark, a high-school drop out who is working as an intern at a grand hotel in the Swiss mountains. Fluffy, sickly sweet, and somewhat insubstantial. “One thing was for sure: This Christmas was going to be anything but boring.”Ī Castle in the Clouds is the book equivalent of cotton candy.
