Charlie Fletcher crée des récits captivants qui explorent souvent l'interaction complexe entre l'émerveillement de l'enfance et les réalités adultes, abordant des thèmes tels que l'identité, le courage et la découverte de soi. Son écriture se caractérise par des descriptions vives et une capacité magistrale à immerger les lecteurs dans des mondes qui semblent à la fois fantastiques et remarquablement ancrés. Fletcher évite les résolutions simplistes, proposant plutôt des histoires riches en rebondissements inattendus et en aperçus profonds qui résonnent auprès de différents groupes d'âge. Ses œuvres sont célébrées pour leur portée imaginative et leur profondeur émotionnelle.
