Did you enjoy the Harry Potter series?

Here is another you may well enjoy.

Jenny Nimmo has written a series called Children of the Red King. (Sometimes called the Charlie Bone series). The series is located in the Primary Library at JF NIM.

This is a series of eight fantasy and adventure novels about Charlie Bone who discovers that he has inherited from the Red King the ability to hear people in photographs and paintings. Charlie attends Bloor’s Academy and meets other children who also have extra sensory perception in various forms and have many adventures in which they fight evil.

These books are ideally suited to those who enjoy the Harry Potter series and take the reader into a very similar world filled with magic, mystery, and wonder. They are fast paced and easy to read and may especially appeal to those who found the Harry Potter books too long.

The Scholastic Book Fair will be in the Primary Library from Tuesday to Friday this coming week from 14-17 August. There will be many bargains and new books. This is eagerly awaited by the students who enjoy buying a new book for their home Library. We hope to see you there.
