Good and Bad Points:
A good book for kids. I really enjoy reading this book, it's fun. The story was about gifted kids. The main character has a gift to enter the pictures and talk to people in the pictures. Charlie Bone reminds me of Harry Potter. I love how Charlie and friends do the mission to release Blue Boa, also to help Ollie Sparks to be seen again and return to his family. When I read, I imagined Blue Boa looks like Occamy. I really love Benjamin's dog and the fire cats. The scene where Daniel helped Sparko to get back to his picture was wonderful, especially when he got to see the Red King. Overall it's a great book!
