Booklist 9/1/05 \\\\\\\\Nimmo, Jenny. Charlie Bone and the Castle of Mirrors. 2005. 432p. Scholastic/Orchard, $9.95 (0-439-54528-5). Gr. 4¿. In the fourth book of the projected five in the Red King series, Charlie Bone and his friends (and enemies) begin a new term at Bloor's Academy, where many of the students and staff are endowed with magical abilities. Hoping to find his father and help a friend, Charlie travels to the ominous Castle of Bone. Nimmo adds several inventive elements to this magical world, including the transformation of Charlie's wand into a silent creature of mysterious power. Explaining the complex background story and introducing the many characters to new readers slows down the action quite a bit at the start, but the pace picks up nicely when Charlie goes to the rescue of his friend Billy. Prediction: this fantasy should do quite well, assuming a continuing demand for stories about a nice lad with magical powers who goes to boarding school, longs to see his father, has adventures, makes a few mistakes, and gets by with a little help from his friends. -Carolyn Phelan SLJ 10/1/05 NIMMO, Jenny.

Nimmo once again delivers an exciting, plot-driven tale that is sure to please fantasy and adventure fans.

Evil Dr. Bloor believes that he has resurrected a despicable ancestor without realizing the B on the casket stood for Berenice, the good queen, rather than the warrior Borlath. The endowed children gain another protector, but three more endowed students arrive at the academy and use their gifts of magnetism and telekinesis to aid the Bloors. The balance literally shifts toward the dark side when it is discovered that Olivia has the ability to create illusions. The terrifying results are enough to cause the Bloors to give up their control over hapless Billy Raven. The children work together to restore the balance and all ends well - for now.

As always, Nimmo spins an imaginative, absorbing tale that will not disappoint fans of Charlie and company.
