Editorial Review:
The enchanter Count Harken is back to take his revenge on the Red King's heirs, starting with Charlie Bone's family! Charlie's ancestor has been kidnapped and imprisoned in the dark, forbidding land of Badlock, and it's up to Charlie to save him. Traveling through a painting to the terrifying countryside, Charlie and his best friend's dog, Runner Bean, take up the quest. But when Runner Bean gets trapped, Charlie needs the help of his friends. Can they get past an army of trolls, rescue Runner Bean and Charlie's ancestor, and get out before it's too late?
Can Charlie outwit Court Harken and his sinister troops, or will the prisoners be doomed to being held captive in Badlock forever?

Love it! I am 16 and have followed Charlie Bone since the series came out. I love these books and I think they are great for any age. The characters are so relatable, and I have always told anyone who would listen that I would want to play Olivia if they ever made a movie. Now I am a bit old, but would still love to.
Continues the magic Read this latest book in one sitting. I love reading children's books, especially those with a "make believe" or supernatural context. THe day after I finished it, it went to my husband's sixth grade class to make the rounds there. For anyone who loved the Harry Potter series, this series will ROck!
Awesome Book! This book was really good. I love the Charlie Bone series, now that there is no Harry Potter to look forward to these are the next best thing.
They are children's books, but, just like Harry Potter and Little House on the Prairie they are very entertaining for adults also.
Great Series, fun read for kids/adults Charlie Bone is a great series. Recommended to all the kids/families I work with. No sketchy topics/material your kids shouldn't read. Fun read for adults too, I know several parents that follow this series.
