Wieder ein spannendes Buch der hervorragenden Reihe um Charlie Bone und seine außergewöhnlichen Freunde. Nach langem hin und her kommt es nun endlich zum großen Kampf zwischen gut und böse. Doch bevor es soweit ist werden noch ein paar große und kleine Geheimnisse gelüftet. Was ist mit Charlies E...
Good story, though a few things confused me. In Charlie Bone and the Castle of Mirrors, I thought Albert Tuccini had destroyed the walls of history so as to save Charlie, but Otus Yewbeam is later reunited with his wife, Amoret, through them. I also thought that Dagbert was going to be one of t...
I love a good happy ending. Disappointed with the ending. :(
For me, this was the most suspenseful, dramatic volume of the series thus far. Charlie found himself in constant perilous situations, some much more severe than those in past books, and during such times, he becomes truly powerless and helpless and reaps the consequences of his involvement with ...
Honestly, I had difficulty getting into this book. The scenes with Charlie in the painting and his friends on the outside were incredibly boring, and I really didn't want the entire book to end up that way. Again, Benjamin bothered me. It is NOT Charlie's fault that your dog ran into the painting...
This Charlie Bone isn't quite as good as the Wilderness Wolf, but still pretty good. Once Charlie escapes from the Badlock,the plot really gets going. Then when Tancred 'dies' we have a real climax point building, because there are ever so many more things they can do with the Bloors thinking Tan...
This is the first of a prequel series to the Charlie Bone books. Charlie Bone is a descendant of the Red King and this is the story of his illustrious ancestor.The story starts in the Secret Kingdom which is doomed to fall to the wicked viridees. Before the end, the children Timoken and Zobayda...
Now first let me get this out of the way. A lot of people think Charlie Bone is a downright rip-off of Harry Potter. I'm here to tell you that No, it is not. In fact it is very different. YES it does have a character who finds out he has a magical ability, and YES he gets sent to a school/academy...
This book had the same strengths and weaknesses, really, of the first two: fun characters, interesting settings, bad writing. I found it a bit episodic: Charlie and friends uncover a new problem to solve, and another, and another . . . I also took issue with the weak villains.It's funny: as ...
Charlie Bone is worried about his friend, Billy Raven. Billy, an albino and an orphan, has longed for a family of his own and it seems like his wish has come true when Mr. and Mrs. de Grey agree to adopt him. Charlie is happy for Billy, but the de Grey's are friends of the Bloor family and Charli...
Initial thoughts on completion:Once again, this was an enjoyable story and a great diversion from everyday normal life. The same familiar characters are back and we get to meet a few new ones. The subject of time travel is always an interesting one, though I'm not sure it was very well thought ou...
What I liked:-Dagbert. I thought he was a fascinating character, and I loved the ill effects his power had. Having to carry around those little golden sea creatures forever can’t be easy. Even though I knew that he was going to be evil when he showed up with Lord Grimwald, I honestly thought he w...
In the fifth book in Jennie Nimmo's Children of the Red King series, odd things are happening in Charlie Bone's neighborhood. First there is an odd snowstorm and then all the animals disappear. Benjamin Brown, recently returned from Hong Kong, misses his dog Runner Bean and wants Charlie to help ...
