Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
The seventh episode of the Children of the Red King series moves the main plot forward an inch amidst yet more scheming and attempted murder by the increasingly powerful supporters of evil Count Harken. Charlie passes repeatedly into a painting that transports him (once with a snake that renders him invisible) into the dismal land of Badlock; by the end he has done a good deed for a grieving giant but left friend and pivotal character Billy Raven in the oily Count’s clutches. Confirmed fans will care. Grades 4-6. --John Peters --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Product Description

The enchanter Count Harken is back to take his revenge on the Red King's heirs, starting with Charlie Bone's family! Charlie's ancestor has been kidnapped and imprisoned in the dark, forbidding land of Badlock, and it's up to Charlie to save him. Traveling through a painting to the terrifying countryside, Charlie and his best friend's dog, Runner Bean, take up the quest. But when Runaner Bean gets trapped, Charlie needs the help of his friends. Can they get past an army of trolls, rescue Runner Bean and Charlie's ancestor, and get out before it's too late?

Can Charlie outwit Court Harken and his sinister troops, or will the prisoners be doomed to being held captive in Badlock forever?

5.0 out of 5 stars Charlie Bone and the Shadow, November 2, 2008

By	G. Schweibinz "G" (Stone Mountain) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Charlie Bone and the Shadow by Jenny Nimmo was a great addition to her series. I teach Science and also run the Literary Guild Reading Club for our school. So I like to read what the kids are reading. I also like to be able to recommend books to them that I think they will like. I have enjoyed the Charlie Bone series. Her writing is easily read and she has a nice use of words. The characters are well developed and the students relate to them well. She has a nice mix of good and evil characters with a lot of humor thrown in. The book is a nice length and the ending makes you anticipate the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, December 7, 2008

By	Broadway Darling (Kentucky, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Charlie Bone And The Shadow (Hardcover)

I am 16 and have followed Charlie Bone since the series came out. I love these books and I think they are great for any age. The characters are so relatable, and I have always told anyone who would listen that I would want to play Olivia if they ever made a movie. Now I am a bit old, but would still love to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book!, November 13, 2008

By	L. A. Perkins (Cool Ridge, WV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Charlie Bone And The Shadow (Hardcover)

This book was really good. I love the Charlie Bone series, now that there is no Harry Potter to look forward to these are the next best thing.
They are children's books, but, just like Harry Potter and Little House on the Prairie they are very entertaining for adults also.
