“Simon Jones blends an invigorated, snappy read with vocal cameos of a host of characters. Among these are the mean, elderly voice of Charlie’s unlikable grandmother, who is suspicious of Charlie’s sleuthing; the squeaky voice of his best friend, Billy; and the growling tones of his supportive Uncle Peyton.”
— AudioFile" This book was great, like all of them in the series. "
— Emmy, 2/20/2014" The story progresses, but it's not the best. I was a little disappointed. "
— Tommy, 2/18/2014" I like Scarletstories review, so I won't write another. "
— William, 2/17/2014" I was hoping this would be the last in the series, but it apparently is not - unless Nimmo decided to leave everything unresolved. I read this far because some of the plots were quite interesting and caught my attention. I don't know if I'll read further in the series as the writing continues to be bipolar. "
— Dusty, 2/16/2014" Another continuation in the Charlie Bone series......this one left some loose ends which is a little different than the other books. "
— Sasha, 2/11/2014" Really am enjoying this series. Certainly reminicent of Harry Potter, but I think I may like this series a little better. Also reminds me of the TV show "Heroes" with the different endowments and how they discover them and find out how best to use them. "
— Shauna, 2/2/2014" I found both the story and the writing better than those of any other book in the series so far. Nice. "
— Nic, 1/6/2014" Another wonderful book. I mean, don't you wish Charlie Bone could keep going? "
— Jacquel, 1/3/2014" Finding Asia was the best part. I love when olivia uses her power to decoy the bad guys. "
— Rylee, 1/1/2014" One of the best in the series so far. "
— Doopa5000, 12/27/2013" A cute story, as always. "
