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
From AudioFile
In this seventh installment of the Children of the Red King series, Charlie Bone, who has the ability to travel within photographs and paintings, finds himself heading back in time to stand among giants, who just happen to be his ancestors. Audie winner Simon Jones delivers every line of Jenny Nimmo's descriptive prose with a storyteller's warmth, wit, and assured intensity. Charlie enlists the help of his Uncle Paton and his friends from Bloor's Academy to battle the evil Baron Harken, to reunite Otis Yewbeam with the lovely Amoret, and to rescue Billy's dog, Runner Beam. Billy himself is left trapped back in shadowy Badlock, a situation that suggests the likelihood of another compelling story to come. B.P. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

Charlie Bone and the Shadow
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.
Love it!
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.
Awesome Book!
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.
