Title: Better Than the First Book - A Grand Adventure For Younger Readers
Review: I read the first Charlie Bone a long time ago - when it was new. At the time I felt it was a poor copy of the Harry Potter concept - too obviously deriviative. I finally returned to the series this week, reading the second book - and I think that this book manages to move away from the Harry Potter similarities and develop into a work in its own right.The books are aimed at younger readers than Harry Potter, so comparisons are unfair. For their target audeince, these will be enjoyable books with a good adventure, and one that can be enjoyed by older readers too.Not my favourite of Jenny Nimmo's work, but a good read all the same
