Book Review: Charlie Bone and the Hidden King

Charlie Bone and the Hidden King: Children of the Red King #5, by Jenny Nimmo, Orchard Books, New York, 2006.
The stakes become higher and higher.  In this novel, one of the teacher, who everyone thought was a friend, turns out to be an evil witch.  She brings back the shadow, who had been an evil person in the history of the Red King.  Now he is terrorizing the community and threatening a return of evil to the area.  Charlie cannot handle this problem on his own.  All the young descendants of the Red King are needed to elicit the help of the Red King, who is still alive, but in the form of a tree.  However the magical spell to restore the king requires ten children, and the only have nine.  It is the wolf man who becomes the tenth.  
Excellent book.  This series keeps me entertained.
