SuitabookCharlie Bone and the Red Knight
Jenny Nimmo
- Reading
- If reading the series, consider revisiting earlier instalments first: this finale draws on established characters and ongoing questions, including the Red King’s heirs and Charlie’s family.
- Themes
- Facing darkness: Charlie and his friends use their strength and magic to oppose dangerous forces and try to save his parents. The story’s framing casts the opposing forces as wicked or evil and the friends’ resistance as a fight to save others.
- Worth knowing
- Dangerous magic and a battle form part of the adventure; chapter headings also include a fire in a tunnel and a rescue. These perilous scenes may be worth noting for a sensitive reader.
