Latest book read

I have just completed "Charlie Bone and the Beast". It is the fifth in its series and it has been quite enjoyable. The author, Jenni Nimmo, portrays her characters very well so that I really come to appreciate them. It is more of a 7-8th grade read, but I definitely have enjoyed the series thus far and look forward to the next book as Charlie and his friends confront their enemies.I have described this series to others as "poor man's Harry Potter" but it is nonetheless very enjoyable and I look forward to what happens to Charlie and his friends.
