Children of the Red King

At some point, I should.

Then I also have the Charlie Bone series, which is a middle grade, um, series.

I think the author's name is Jenny Nimmo.

Um, I read the first one when I worked at Bolen Books.

Um, I would now argue that the Nevermoor series by Jessica Townsend actually feels more like Harry Potter to me.

Um, it kinda brings that same, like, exciting, magical, I can't wait to explore the world and see what happens next kinda feeling.

Um, but at the time, Charlie Bone definitely did bring back a lot of the, the vibes of Harry Potter.

I mean, I think he's a boy.

Very, very, uh, you know, just for all of you who love Harry Potter, The Hunger Games.

It's just such an interesting, excellent young adult fantasy novel that's gonna be a series, and I'm sure he'll talk to us about it.

So, you know, I kind of just wanna start right away while welcoming you.

Hi.

Like overcoming and how are you gonna share that story? Like, how are you going to-

Yeah

... empower people? And like, what I think is amazing is how your series is empowering through mythology, fantasy.

And from what it sounds like, you really have loved that mythical hero's journey.
