Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo


My family has enjoyed reading this series of books. Charlie Bone is a boy who is invited to a special school because of his hidden talent. There he makes friends and enemies and discovers new things about his family.

At first glance these books are a lot like the harry potter series: boy with unruly dark hair finds out he possesses some magic; uses it to fight against evil, etc. But these are much lighter reading; they don't seem to delve into the darker stuff as much. Also the typeset is pretty large and spaced which makes for easier reading as well. They are fun and exciting without too much drama.

Reading Level: grade 4 & up
