I just finished Stuart Gibbs’ “Charlie Thorne and the Royal Society,” the 4th installment in the series. I can say that I enjoyed the story. It kept me reading and turning pages to see what would happen next. Like me, I’m sure you’ll find it interesting to follow the exploits of someone who is a genius. Also, you’d probably be wishing, again like me, that you had at least some of those abilities. So, I encourage you to read the book.
Though, if you’re looking for an MG level read, this seems to just be on the fringe of MG. I understand it’s MG because the main character is only 13-years old in a world of adults, but many times the author uses a higher level vocabulary than I would expect. Also, some of the phrases used seem a bit forced. And, like so many other stories, the story is wrapped up very quickly at the end.
So, if you’re looking for an adventurous read that takes you into history and foreign lands, this might be a good read for you.
