I don’t think I ever finished the series before! What a solid series ender. While I definitely would have loved more of an epilogue, I’m happy with what we got. I also would have loved a redemption arc for Grandma Bone but hey maybe that happened down the line.

I know there’s a few other books in the overall Children of the Red King series, particularly one featuring Gabriel, that I’d like to someday read as well. But for now, I’m happy I finally finished the Charlie Bone series and I would highly recommend it to middle schoolers looking for a series similar to Harry Potter but not as dark.
