Charlie Bone Pack Award-winning author Pack by Jenny Nimmo (author)

The complete set of Jenny Nimmo’s marvellous fantasies about a boy with the gift of hearing photographs speak. When Charlie is sent to the sinister Bloor’s Academy, he quickly discovers that it’s a place of secrets. It’s a school for ‘endowed’ children, the descendants of the mysterious Red King – all of whom have special gifts, used for both good and evil. But as Charlie gets to know his new classmates, and finds out who his friends and enemies are, a great battle is coming – one in which the secrets of the Red King will be revealed, and his heirs must unite to drive the darkness back. A magnificent and truly epic fantasy series from an author famed for her Snow Spider trilogy, which won the Smarties Prize.
