The Children’s staff wants you to know about these terrific titles!
Title: Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos
Author: R L LaFevers
Buddy Rating:
What we liked about the book: Theodosia can see curses. Real curses attached to the ancient artifacts that her parents bring into the Museum of Legends and Antiquities in London. Her parents are clueless. She can remove most of them thanks to her careful research and assembly of her curse removal kit. But with this latest batch of artifacts comes a threat so strong that even clever Theodosia must seek out help to prevent what may become the worst war the British Empire has even imagined.
Title: Midnight for Charlie Bone (The Children of the Red King, Book 1)
Buddy Rating Scale:
What we liked about the book: The book is a fun, fast-paced whirlwind of mysteries,
magic and friendship. Charlie Bone isn't your typical nine-year-old boy. Although he didn't
know that himself. But when photographs get mixed up and he ends up with a picture of a man
and a little girl that talks to him, he knows everything that was normal about his life is
gone forever. Tracking down the picture, Charlie finds out it belongs to Miss Ingledew, a
woman who owns a bookshop and has been looking for her missing niece for years. She gives
Charlie a mysterious package, (that he can't open) and sets him on his journey that will change
everything in his world. As it turns out, Charlie is one of the descendants of the Red King, a
mysterious person who had wondrous magical powers who went into hiding. The Red Kind's children
have been equally divided between good and evil ever since. At Bloor's Academy, Charlie finds
friends and enemies and the challenge of his lifetime as he tracks down secrets others don't want
revealed. For fans of Roald Dahl and JK Rowling.
