Book review for Midnight For Charlie Bone By: Lindsey

I really enjoyed the book Midnight For Charlie Bone; book one of the Children of the Red King Series. I Liked the way the author, Jenny Nimmo, wrote the book. This book was written in a regular story style, but it is a book that the settings were scattered. Once you were with the main character, Charlie Bone, and then you are with a completely different character that the author hasn’t mentioned yet. The whole book was great except for the mixed up settings.

To begin with, Charlie Bone finds out that he is endowed with magical powers. This suddenly changes his life. He attends an unusual school called Bloors Academy, He finds out about a young girl that is under some curse. Apparently, the girl doesn’t know who her real family is or even who she is. Charlie was sent to find her and reconnect her wither her family. Charlie tries to help her while avoiding the fact that his grandmother doesn’t know he is helping her. I thought that this plot for the story was superior. It caused me to me to ponder and imagine what happened to who and just who did what who. It was very interesting how the author tied it all up at the end. The way Jenny Nimmo had the book written was appealing how she presented it. The book kept me on my toes the whole time. It forced me to keep thinking what was going to happen next. I thought that in some parts of the plot I could relate to. I usually have little adventures with my cousin without my parents even knowing it.

In addition, Charlie Bone is a courageous, adventures, boy who has a life that was altered in only a short time. His best friend, Benjamin, is a small boy who loves active journeys with his dog Runner Bean and Charlie. While Charlie Goes to Bloors’, he meets many companions. His two main friends are Fidileo and Olivia. Fidileo was his music teacher and then became one of his bets friends. Olivia is one of Charlies best friends also. She is always getting into some type of trouble. These four characters are only some of the characters who are in the book. There are many villains and other heros including all the other endowed children. I think I am most like Olivia because she is adventures and gets into trouble a lot.

Finally I would recommend this book to kids who enjoy magic and mystery books and like to use their imagination. This book was excellent for children of all ages. The book was full of twist and turns that will keep you guessing until the ending.
