Book review: Charlie Bone and the Beast

Charlie Bone and the Beast: Children of the Red King Book 6 by Jenny Nimmo, Orchard Books, New York, 2007.
Charlie Bones adventures continue in this fascinating book.  His father was discovered in the previous book, but already his mother and father are off on a second honeymoon.  This leaves Charlie with his Uncle.  At the same time his evil aunt marries, and takes control of a stepson that knows how to animate objects, and there happens to be many stone objects around town.  But the most interesting thing they learn is that people are looking for a secret will, which would leave the old castle to Charlie and his family.  Asa, the boy who was with the evil side, and turned at the end of the last book, has been confined in the dark, making him a perpetual beat.  Charlie and Billy determine to rescue him.  This story continues to be very exciting.
