"I defently didn't expect what will happen in this book! I read a 2-page preview and was amazed at how easily sucked in I was from the first sentence! I felt terror and confusion from only those 2 pages and i can't wait to see what the other have in store for the reader!" — Steph (5 out of 5 stars)

“The many action-packed scenes are balanced by others displaying Nimmo’s broader vision for the series as well as her knack for creating likable characters. Readers who enjoyed The Secret Kingdom will find that its sequel is equally exciting and inventive.”
" Loved the dragon and the camel. Everything else-- meh. "
" This book is one of my favorite books I've read, I think it's even better than the first book of the series, because of all the action in it and I know Nimmo won't dissapoint me with the next book in the series! "
" This series is not as good as Children of the Red king, but still very enjoyable. "
" thought not as good as the fist series this was a all in all book. Its a shame that Jenny Nimmo did not do more with the themes of the book "
" How do u read a book "
" The narrator for the audio cd was annoying. The plot was over-simplified. "
" I generally feel like Nimmo is underrated int he MG fantasy world. The snow spider alone is excellent. Charlie Bone is super charming and enjoyable, and I'm loving this backstory. Her writing is always solid and her characters engaging. "
" It was an interesting read. The red king escapes from his captures in Britain meets some new friends. It had a decent story, but I didn't think a lot really happened to advance the big story. "
" This is a continuation of the story of the Red King and how he gets his castle. He finds his sister and makes some new friends with a wizard and some children. His flying camel is still with him. "
" Fantasy for fans of the Charlie Bone series. "
" Enjoyed reading this one to the kids. Timoken is a likable character, and Gabar is great. "
