Review

Praise for ‘Midnight for Charlie Bone’:

‘Charlie Bone is dark, funny, crackling with magic. It’s a long time since I’ve been so absorbed in a story, and so keen for the next installment.’ Artemis Cooper.

‘A fast moving, dialogue driven romp with plenty of cliff-hangers for those first hooked into reading by Harry Potter’ Bookseller

--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

Ordinary Charlie Bone receives a gift that runs in his family on his tenth birthday when he can hear the people in a photograph speaking to each other. So as all gifted children do he attends Bloor's Academy. This second book in the series maps Charlie's progress when he encounters time-slipped Henry Yewbeam. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Enjoyable, 22 July 2003
By 
J. B. Bowley "Jo" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Time Twister (Red King Quintet) (Hardcover)
Having only recently discovered and loved "Midnight for Charlie Bone" I was delighted to find that the next book in the series was already available. "The Time Twister" is even better! It is one of those books that you pick up and can only put down again once you have reached the end.

As you can guess from the title, this book features time travel. It starts with Charlie's great uncle (aged 11) being sent through time by his evil cousin and it is not too hard to guess where he ends up...

Although there are a lot of differences between the Charlie Bone books and those of Harry Potter, if you like Harry you'll love these books too. The plots twist and turn unpredictably and the story is truly magical, fun and very enjoyable. I can't wait for the next...

4.0 out of 5 stars better second time round, 19 July 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Time Twister (Red King Quintet) (Hardcover)
i started by reading the first book in this series, "midnight for charlie bone", and although the book was good it was a bit disappointing as it seemed to be rushed towards the end and the lack of use of the endowments, but this second part to the story is much much better it goes deeper into charlies story as well as introducing us to another whole new story, which involves charlies great uncle who vanished nearly a hundred years before arriving in a whirl of mist at bloors academy, and the fight to keep him safe from the bloors who want rid of him.this is a great read , i would recomend anyone of any age to read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Henry Yewbeam twists through time in the time twister!, 27 May 2005
This book is about a boy who twists through time courtesy of the time twister, the shining glass marble with breathtaking views of the past or future. On January 12th 1916, Henry Yewbeam stumbles upon the time twister and twists through time to 1993, where he has very strange adventures.
Charlie Bone hoped the new term at Bloors Academy would hold no nasty suprises. But then Henry Yewbeam appears, twisted through time from the icy winter of 1916. With malicious Yewbeam aunts on the prowl and the Bloors out to catch him, Henry will need Charlie's help just to stay alive. Bloors Academy can be a very dangerous place.
I think this book is brilliant and full of classic fiction. I would recommend this book for ages 7 and up.
