Charlie Bone and the Castle of Mirrors by Jenny Nimmo
4.0
The promise of adoptive parents for Billy Raven might finally happen thanks to Ezekiel Bloor but uncertainty remains. At the same time, a war horse with the evil heart of one of the original children of the red king has been resurrected from death. These new events are pushing the balance of the endowed children off at the academy and danger lurks around every corner. Charlie Bone must do everything he can to help keep the balance but will he be able to do that when it appears he might be one step closer to discovering the whereabouts of his father?
I really had a fun time with book and enjoyed the increased history we received surrounding the original children of the red king. One of the biggest things is that Charlie is shown to not be perfect and that his actions have consequences. I appreciated the role the adults played in this book and helping to lead the children in the direction they must go in. The discussion around keeping the balance really played a vital role in this and I appreciated seeing how that factor influenced the course of the book.
