About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

The Secret Kingdom


The Secret Kingdom by Jenny Nimmo

This is a prequel book which provides background to the origins and adventures of Charlie Bone's magical ancestor The Red King. For those of you who don't know Charlie Bone yet, this is a great series filled with magic and adventure (a great read alike to the Harry Potter series.)

Timoken is a prince born in a secret kingdom. At his birth, a forest jinni bestows magical gift upon him: a cloak made by the last moon spider and a potion called Alixir. When the peaceful land is attacked, Timoken and his sister Zobayda, must find a new kingdom to call home. Together with only the magical gifts and a talking camel, the siblings set off.

In this brand new series bestselling author Jenny Nimmo takes readers on an extraordinary quest with one of her most powerful and mysterious characters, the one who started it all for Charlie Bone and the Red King.

Here's the book trailer.
