Charlie Bone and the Red Knight Book

Charlie Bone and the Red Knight is the eighth and final book in Jenny Nimmo's brilliant Charlie Bone series!

As the battle against the Bloors and all of the rest of the evil people and creatures that live in the city draws to a close there are many shocks and surprises in store for Charlie Bone and his friends. Although the previous books in the series have featured lots of mini battles, in Charlie Bone and the red Knight there is the final epic battle of good v evil. Fortunately as well as all of Charlie's regular friends and helpers, there is a mysterious Red Knight who seems to be pursuing evildoers across the city. Charlie doesn't know who this Red Knight is but it looks like he will have to trust him anyway.

Charlie Bone and the Red Knight is a very exciting book, perhaps the most exciting in the whole series and the final battle is great. Although a lot of the action is quite clear good v evil stuff there are also a number of surprises in store during the story. And I don't just mean the identity of the Red Knight although I have to admit that I didn't guess who it was going to be. There have been a few mysteries and loose ends running through the series and in this final book Jenny Nimmo does a good job of sorting them out and explaing most things. There are still some characters that I would have like to know more about but I guess you can't have everything!

Although Charlie Bone and the Red Knight is a great book, it is sad to think that the Charlie Bone series is over. I haven't read any of Jenny Nimmo's other books but I think I definitely would. I'm also very pleased that there are lots of other magic and adventure series books available at the moment!
