My Review

This book is a really amazing book! I would recomend this book to kids that like a adventure. I really like Magic books and this has magic in it and I would also recomend it to Fantasy readers!

Fantastic reader

What made the experience of listening to Charlie Bone and the Hidden King the most enjoyable?

The reader was excellent.

What other book might you compare Charlie Bone and the Hidden King to and why?

Harry Potter because its is also about the adventures of children with magical powers at school.

What about Simon Russell Beale’s performance did you like?

His voices for the different characters were varied and well done.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Its just a fun read.

Good

I have listened to all of the books now with my 8 year old. This one seems to have been a little harder to follow. There were times that I felt like I had missed something altogether, but in the end understood most of it.

Definately a must listen.

Great continuation!

This is one of the best in the series. It ties up some loose ends, and Charlie and his friends are involved in some real heroics. Several interesting new characters. My sons were sorry it ended and are impatiently waiting for the next installment!

Love these books!!

Honestly didn’t think they could get better. But then Simon Russell Beale started to narrate them. He’s such a talent! Coupled with the author Jenny Nimmo and I fell in love again with the books I read to my children.
