Charlie Bone Pack, 8 books, RRP £47.92 (Blue Boa; Castle of Mirrors; Charlie Bone & Hidden King; Charlie Bone & The Red Knight; Charlie Bone:Shadow Of Badlock; Charlie Bone:Wilderness Wolf; Midnight For Charlie Bone; Time Twister). (Children of the Red King) : Jenny Nimmo: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo - I purchased all 8 books in this series because of the good reviews. Excellent service from the Seller. Very enjoyable story about a young boy called Charlie Bone and the strange things that happen to him and his friends. I think that young readers (9 years plus) may find these stories enjoyable to read, if they have all 8 books, as the story flows from one to the other. A bit of histroy (Charlie's family past) which comes to light as Charlie continues to defies his Grandmother. Does he have magic abilites or is he just a very talented and gifted child like his friends who are very unique to what each of them can do. Team work is required, problems to resolve, fun to be had, understanding what is around you, as there is always someone who will help if they are asked. Great story line, very interesting ending. I have enjoyed these books despite being an adult. I have read The Snow Spider Trilogy by Jenny Nimmo, another enjoyable story for young readers. Review: Charlie Bone - Started reading the first Charlie Bone to get my 7 year old son interested in reading. Saw numerous recommendations on desertcart for this set and am not disappointed. I feel the books are quite advanced for a 7 year old to ready by themselves but he loves me reading them at bedtime. Good story, not unlike Harry Potter. * book set is great value!

Great books for a great price
Great books. Great service - packaged well and delivered in two days, and great value for money - the complete series would usually retail for almost triple as much. These were my favorite books growing up and so i just had to buy them for my little brother to read. Well worth the buy.

Good read, bad paper quality
Nice looking, but the quality of the paper on the covers is very low. After carrying the book around in a handbag for a couple of days the cover was already worn considerably. I had to wrap it up to prevent it from getting all torn up. Very entertaining stories, well written, original, fun.

GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY
I bouoght these for my 8 year old son who had started to read the Charlie Bone books at school and had enjoyed them. Normally I have to encourage him to read but he has never put these books down since we received them. They are fantastic quality and I would highly recommend them to ANY parent looking for a book for their child.

Good books with a Good story
Got these for my son as he had the first two already and it was a lot cheaper than buying them individually. Lovely books with a good story. We read them to him every night.

Great series for a ten year old boy
My son has rocketed through this series, and really enjoyed it. He is also a big fan of Percy Jackson and Harry Potter, I think it is probably an easier read than those, but a huge success nevertheless. I'm just happy my boy loves to read, and anything that encourages that is fine by me!

I thought this series would be Harry Potter all over again. Sure there are similarities but the series has enough to stand on it's own. I read this nightly with my 9 year old and soon found my 12 year joining us. The series is a bit darker than perhaps Harry Potter but it's still appropriate for my boys' ages.

These series are awesome! I read the first two books back in 2005 while living in London and I simply loved them. However, as I then moved back to my country of origin I was unable to continue reading them for they were untranslated, so I was left wondering what happened with Charlie and his friends. Now that I am able to buy via internet (I was a child back then), I couldn't resist to buy the entire collection, and I must say I am glad that I did. These books are really great to spend a pleasant evening reading them. The story is quite fun and the plot is full of twists and unexpected outcomes sometimes, and whenever you finish reading a book, it's quite difficult to resist the urge to start reading the next one in the series. These are well suited for children of 8 years and over (and also for those adults out there who enjoy reading fantasy once in a while). The covers of the books that I received did not belong to the ones in the pictures though, but I don't really mind and they were lovely anyway.

Ich habe jetzt den dritten Band hinter mir und freue mich, dass ich noch fünf Bücher vor mir habe. Die Geschichte hat Ähnlichkeiten mit Harry Potter, trotzdem ist es doch anders. Sehr lesenswert.

My kids love Charlie Bone. A wonderful mystery/adventure series full of magic and intrigue. Kids who love Harry Potter will likely love Charlie Bone

Die Bücher wurden für die Schulbücherei gekauft und ich wollte wissen ob sie so gut sind... Ich habe erst Band 2 als deutsche Übersetzung gelesen - feselnd - und dann wollte alles lesen. Die Originale auf Englisch sind recht gut. Das á propose zu Harry Potter ist manchmal plump. In fast 80% eines Bandes baucht sich Spannung auf und die Lösung platzt plötzlich auf die letzten Paar Seiten, ohne wenn und aber. Na gut, die Bücher sind geschrieben für ein anderes Alters- und Erfahrungsniveau. Nur vier Sterne - das ist Geschmacksache.
