This series is a great fantasy series.

Meanwhile, other magical things are happening and creatures are escaping from paintings. Charlie's town is slowly being deserted because people are worried about the magical creatures.

Is this series going anywhere? My son highly recommends it, but so far it's doing nothing for me....
