The enchanter Count Harken is back to take his revenge on the Red King's heirs, starting with Charlie Bone's family! Charlie's ancestor has been kidnapped and imprisoned in the dark, forbidding land of Badlock, and it's up to Charlie to save him. Traveling through a painting to the terrifying countryside, Charlie and his best friend's dog, Runner Bean, take up the quest. But when Runner Bean gets trapped, Charlie needs the help of his friends. Can they get past an army of trolls, rescue Runner Bean and Charlie's ancestor, and get out before it's too late?
Can Charlie outwit Court Harken and his sinister troops, or will the prisoners be doomed to being held captive in Badlock forever?

Summary: Great Book!
Comment: Did you ever dream about waking up and having powers? Well Charlie Bone found out that he could go into pictures and artwork. Charlie, along with his friends, need to save the endowed (a special group of "gifted" children) and save Billy from the evil shadow who is trying to destroy the good. Will they destroy him or will Charlie Bone finally lose? Read "Charlie Bone and the Shadow" to find out what happens to Charlie and his friends.
This is a book that keeps you wanting to read more. You will never see half the things coming. Once you finish one great book you will want to go directly into the next. I would recommend this to anyone who liked Harry Potter, mystery books, and magic. It is not the same as Harry Potter, each kid has their own special magic and they work together to defeat the evil.
Jenny Nimmo is a British author of numerous great books for children, including many fantasy and adventure novels. She has many books about a lot of different subjects. Nimmo is a wonderful author and I would recommend a lot of her books. Read as Charlie encounters many crazy problems and overcomes them with the help of his friends in all seven books.

Summary: This book is somewhat different from the others...
Comment: The other books in the Charlie Bone series are mostly self contained. It is certainly better to read them in order, certainly, but each book had its own plot which was always resolved in that book, while at the same time a larger series spanning plot was moving forward..
Not so, this one. This one reads more like a set up to the (word has it) final volume in the Charlie Bone series. One gets the impression that this was not Nimmo's original intention. Without spoiling the plot it seems that the direction of the book suddenly changed and plot points were carried over to the final book. This is the principal reason for only giving it four stars.
All that said it is by no means a bad book. On the contrary Nimmo has a remarkable talent for writing on the level of ages 10-12 while still being able to engage the adult mind. The narrative style is blunt and direct; the sentences short and to the point. But the plots are surprisingly complex and the characters (of which there are many) well fleshed out. Best of all Nimmo has done a terrific job of world building over the course of seven books.
Not the strongest book in the series but still highly recommended.

Summary: As Good As The Other Ones
Comment: Score another one for Jenny Nimmo. I may be a grandmother, but I have read and loved all of the Charlie Bone books, and I wait impatiently for each next one to come out. After collecting the first six of them for myself, I finally decided to pass them along to one of my grandchildren. Unfortunately for him, his mother got a hold of them first and also fell in love with them, so now he has to wait again before he has a chance to read them. LOL Luckily, he is only going to be nine, so he still has a lot of time to read and love them.

Comment: His name is Charlie Bone, and he is a 12 year old boy going to Bloor's Academy. Plus he's nothing close to customary and Charlie knows he has a gift and he uses it against the evil in his town. But when the evil kids with powers try to release a desperate evil shadow from a painting, he doesn't know if he can stop them this time. Charlie, a descendant of the Red King, has an endowment which allows him to travel into paintings. There are only a few left of his kind.
When his aunts and one of his grandma's puts the painting in the basement his curiosity overwhelms him and he goes into the painting, but escapes. Everybody from ages 9-12 would love this book. Charlie has a long range of emotions ranging from desperate to ecstatic, mad to not mad. When Charlie's friend Billy gets sucked into the same painting Charlie did, Charlie tries to go into the painting and save him. Then on the way there Charlie has the craziest thought what if Billy doesn't want to come back?
In the book Charlie Bone and the Shadow By Jenny Nimmo people have powers Like kids can make storms make illusions and travel through paintings. In the book their's an evil side and a good side and they fight each other throughout the book. This book really uses rich adjectives and gives a very clear picture in your mind. Read this book if you're a kid needing a book to read.
