Charlie Bone and The Castle Of Mirrors (Children of the Red King Book 4) Back in Bloor’s Academy, Charlie’s power takes on a new dimension. He meets a new gallery of characters, including Mr. Pilgrim’s replacement, Tantalus Ebony, and the mysterious new student Joshua Tilpin, who appears to be magnetic. But not all is well. Billy has been adopted by the O’Gres, a child-hating couple, who carry with them a gray bag of oaths wherever they go, seducing Billy to sign an oath of obedience, before locking him up behind a force field in an odd place called The Passing House.
Customer Review: Exciting and Magical
Charlie Bone and the Castle of Mirrors is about Charlie helping Billy escape evil parents. It is filled with fun,mystery,magic,and more. An easy read for ages 9-12. Other books recommended if you enjoy this one are the other Charlie Bone books.
Customer Review: easy read..more the same
more of the same. If you liked Harry potter, you might like these. My daughter didn’t because she didn’t want to read more about a boy that finds out he can do magic. And goes to a school for kids like him. more of the same. but still a cute story.

Having worked professionally with children for many years, I’ve been privy to countless children’s books. For the youngest children, I find routinely that vibrancy of imagery coupled with simplicity of the educational message is the best received.

Based on the reviews, I expected something much better. This is not a book that as a professional, I found to be very useful.

The Gift of ADHD Activity Book: 101 Ways to Turn Your Child’s Problems into Strengths (Companion) The chapters of the book are organized by strengths that can be developed in a child. There is a short discussion of the importance of each strength, and then the book offers simple activities that parents do with their child-often in just a few minutes-to help develop them. Throughout the book strikes a positive note, stressing things that parents can do themselves to encourage and support their child rather than things they should discourage or avoid.
Customer Review: Wonderful!
Lara is a wonderful person who spends her life as an advocate for children with ADD ADHD. I absolutely love her books and I recommend them to all parents with children who have ADD or ADHD. The Gift of ADHD Activity Book is one of the most important books available for parents with ADHD children.

Midnight for Charlie Bone (The Children of the Red King, Book 1)
The fabulous powers of the Red King were passed down through his descendants, after turning up quite unexpectedly, in someone who had no idea where they came from. This is what happened to Charlie Bone, and to some of the children he met behind the grim, gray walls of Bloor’s Academy. Charlie Bone has discovered an unusual gift-he can hear people in photographs talking! His scheming aunts decide to send him to Bloor Academy, a school for genius’s where he uses his gifts to discover the truth despite all the dangers that lie ahead.
Customer Review: got here quickly
this product was mailed to me quickly and I’m very happy with the service I recieved
Customer Review: Not a horrible book; just not a very good one
(I read the first 3 Charlie Bone books, so this review is probably more of an indictment of the entire series in general rather than any one book in particular.)

Maybe Days: A Book for Children in Foster Care Will I live with my parents again? Will I stay with my foster parents forever? For children in foster care, the answer to many questions is often “maybe.” Maybe Days addresses the questions, feelings, and concerns these children most often face. Honest and reassuring, it also provides basic information that children want and need to know, including the roles of various people in the foster care system and whom to ask for help. An extensive afterword for adults caring for foster children describes the child’s experience, underscores the importance of open communication, and outlines a variety of ways to help children adjust to the “maybe days”- and to thrive.
Customer Review: Great for Kids and Adults
I work at a proctor care agency. This book has been a great tool for helping children who are in Foster Care feel normal again. It’s also been great to help the foster parents stop and realize all the different emotions and feelings their foster children are working through.
Customer Review: Provides Some Comfort
Maybe Days provided my 8 year old foster child with some comforting words. In language a young child can understand, it gives the “big” picture of the foster care sysytem. It acknowledges the fact that many aspects are unknown for the child as well as for the foster parents. My foster child has asked me to read it over and over again.

Customer Review: a good fantasy
I love to read. I read a wonderful fantasy called Charlie Bone and the
Time Twister. The book was written by Jenny Nimmo. The author must
have a good imagination to think of special powers.
The book begins with a young boy named Henry from the 1900’s

Children’s Writer’s Word Book This title’s unique design ensures that writers speak to their audience with a vocabulary and style they both understand and find appealing. A fast-reference guide meant to be used along with a dictionary, thesaurus and yellow pad of paper, it will help fulfill the dream of becoming a published children’s writer.
Customer Review: Useful for Parents, Too!
I use this book to write stories for my young children and it is very helpful. My only constructive criticism is that there are two levels for most words — the level at which the child understands the word and the level at which he/she can read the word. For very young children, those two levels may be separated by two or more years. Therefore, it would be useful if both levels (comprehension and reading) were included.
Customer Review: Word Book
A wonderful tool for the childrens book author. Jam packed with word alternatives and information.
