This world, the world of Charlie Bone, has magic in it, but it also has a lot of ordinariness too. And it's usually that ordinariness that saves the day. Magic can be a great tool, but at the end of the day it doesn't replace courage or determination or even friends.
In this stunning conclusion of her series, Jenny Nimo, has shown her proficiency at writing Children's Literature (that is what the series falls under when you're looking for it in the bookstore). She captures the imagination and innocence of childhood, as well giving us characters that behave in a rational way, instead of the overly brave and adult like main characters we're now being given. Mistakes happen and they are dealt with accordingly. But the biggest question for the readers of this series is: Will Billy Raven find a family who loves him? A must read for everyone!
