The third book in the Children of the Red King series, CHARLIE BONE AND THE INVISIBLE BOY offers more magical fantasy that is fast paced and easy to read.
This semester at Bloor's Academy brings a few changes. There is a new art teacher, Mr. Boldova, and a new student named Belle, who lives with the Yewbeam aunts and seems to have strange power over them. Emma and Charlie soon discover Mr. Boldova's secret He is the older brother of Ollie Sparks, the boy who lives in the attic of Bloor's Academy. Ollie had always been prying into matters that didn't concern him, so Ezekiel Bloor had made him invisible. When Charlie and his friends find him, Ollie is alone and hungry, so they promise to help him become visible again.
A wonderful third installment of The Children of the Red King series!
This is such a fun reread of a series that I loved when I was a child. I found myself enjoying the plot a little more than the last book - with the invisible boy, the trips to Darkly Wind and Paton's strange illness.
It certainly felt like the book had a bit of a darker element this time around and the series keeps getting a bit darker as it goes. I appreciate this as an adult listening to a middle grade audiobook.
Looking forward to starting the next one after finishing this one to see where Charlie Bone and his friends end up.
