Book Review: Charlie Bone and the Shadow


Charlie Bone and the Shadow: Children of the Red King Book 7 by Jenny Nimmo, Orchard Books, New York, 2008.


The adventure continues, but now with a sinister note.  Charlie's aunts put a picture in the house to entice Charlie, and he is sucked to the Kingdom of the Shadow (Count Harken) with his neighbor's dog.  There he discovers his ancestor who has been imprisoned.  He is able to rescue the ancestor, and eventually the dog.  However, the real target for the picture is Billy.  Charlie is unable to rescue him, and he becomes a play mate to the children of the Shadow.
