Review: I bought this book for my 10 year old and although he really enjoyed it i feel i have missed an opportunity. Charlie bone is suitable for readers with stamina from age 7 - 8 They are great fun but if your child read the whole series their reading would not advance greatly and a lot of time would be spent on only one style of writing. So buy for a 7 year old and judge when they are best able to read it. If your child struggles with reading this should get them interested.

Review: I've enjoyed this book. It was a good magical mystery, but a bit scary in some parts. Lots of interesting words.
