The new school year at Bloor's Academy doesn't begin well for Charlie Bone and forebodes hardship for the endowed descendents of the Red King. Will Charlie find his father? As she has done in the previous three books, Jenny Nimmo melds remarkable comrades, adventure, and fantasy into a whirlwind outing. Simon Russell Beale continues as narrator for the series. His commanding voice brings authority and depth to the tale. His Charlie is ever determined, if sometimes scared or chagrined. His supporting cast stands out--a scheming Ezekiel, a comforting and majestic Uncle Yewbeam, and an ethereal Alice Angel. Beale's pacing keeps the listener on edge. A.R.

Gr 4-7 -Charlie Bone is off on another action-packed adventure in this recording of Jenny Nimmos fourth book (Orchard Books, 2005) in the Children of the Red King series. Listeners will need to be familiar with the previous books in the series in order to follow the extended cast of characters and their endowmentsmagical gifts that are bestowed upon descendents of the Red Kingor they will become lost in the quickly moving plot. Charlie begins his second year at Bloor Academy with a bang, receiving detention his very first morning back at school. A literally magnetic new student, a mystical white horse, an ethereal woman with a gift for plants, and young Billy Raven, who can talk to animals, each play a substantial part while Charlie is swept up into a mystery revolving around the Castle of Mirrors during his ongoing search for his missing father. Subtle humor brings a lighter touch into the convoluted and shifting loyalties among the students and instructors at Bloor. Actor Simon Russell Beale reads with aplomb and grace, giving each character, whether man or beast, a distinct voice that makes the many players come to life. A good purchase for both school and public libraries where the series is popular.Charli Osborne, Oxford Public Library, MI
