Charlie Bone Series

(15 reviews)

The Charlie Bone books are gripping fantasy reads for children 9+ written by award-winning author Jenny Nimmo. Also known as the Children of the Red King series, the books are ideal for fans of Harry Potter, Eva Ibbotson and Cornelia Funke’s Inkheart.

Charlie Bone is a boy with a special talent. One day at home, staring at a picture of a couple with a baby and a cat, Charlie suddenly discovers he can hear the voices of the people in the picture. He can’t hide his strange gift and when his Grandma Bone discovers it she ships him off to the sinister-seeming Bloor’s Academy for Magic. Despite its strict rules, Charlie quickly makes friends who also have gifts and together they use their powers  to fight evil and solve the many mysteries within the school.  As a descendent of the ancient magician, the Red King, a destiny awaits Charlie that he never could have imagined...

Fans of the books have been clamouring for a Charlie Bone movie, but although rights have been acquired nothing is in development yet.

It’s best to read the Charlie Bone books in order, starting with book one Midnight for Charlie Bone. There is also a prequel series by Jenny Nimmo that tells the story of the Red King - Secret Kingdom.
