Gr 5-8-Jenny Nimo's satisfying conclusion (Orchard, 2010) to the series features a missing will, evildoers attempting to thwart Charlie and his friends, and the hope provided by a mysterious Red Knight. All of the endowed will have to use their gifts to defeat the evil half of the Red King's descendants. Simon Jones gives each character a unique voice. Listeners must be familiar with the plots and characters from the previous seven books to understand the concluding title.
