"cornwall,Ny 6th grader"

I am a 6th grader at CCMS. The book I read was Charlie Bone and the Invisible boy. It all starts off as Charlie Bone starting off a new semester at Bloor's Academy. Everything starts off normally as Charlie and his friends hanging out and having fun. His friend Ben, who is unendowed has to go to China with his parents. Then Charlie finds out that his Uncle Paton, a power booster, has to leave town and go on a secret mission to stop some one from coming. His Aunt Maisie has to go out of town because her sister is really ill. So, whenever Charlie is home on the weekends he has to be alone with Grandma Bone, who is very mean. But anyways, Charlie finds something very mysterious when he and his friends are exploring the secret passages of Bloor's academy. All the sudden a door slams and they think it was the wind, but then they remember the letter Emma found on the desk of Mr. Boldova. So they call out the name Ollie, who is the invisible boy, and they start talking, Charlie says he promises to get him out of there and visible again. A little later on, Billy Raven one of Charlie's friends, sees something crazy. Mr. Boldova, the new Art teacher and Belle, a strange new student have a weird interaction. All of a sudden Belle transforms into an old person called Yolanda who is a shape shifter. Mr. Boldova throws fiery stones at her but she some how makes him forget who he is. If you want to find out more about the book then read it. The reasons I liked this book is because it is very mysterious. I also like this book because Charlie and his friends always work together so good to help people other become visible or go back to there time period. My favorite character is Tancred Torrsen because he is a storm bringer and he can create lightning, thunder, rain, and high winds. He plays a key roll in this book but you'll have to find out what by reading the book. The auther of this book is Jenny Nimo.

A wonderful Read. Cheers it Jenny Nemo.

Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy Book Review Jenny Nemo has finally done it. This latest book in the Charlie Bone series is wonderfully imaginative. Charlie's evil relatives, who make Harry Potter's aunt and uncle look like saints, are up to no good again. The school that he goes to is full of nasty characters ready to make his life and his friends a living hell and to make matters worse there is a strange visitor to his school that his wicked aunts approve of. This semester is not easy for Charlie but he and his friends strive to save the innocent victims that have been sucked into the school's evil web, while trying not to get caught up in it himself. A wonderful read. Caterina Christakos

Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy

When I first read Midnight for Charlie Bone I was on a trip and bought it as a second hand book on tape. I bought it because I expected it to be like HP. Next I read the Time Twister, and then the Invisible boy. One of the things I like most about them is that each book is one school term so there is more story per school year. Another cool thing about them is that the kids have individual powers unlike HP where thay all can do everything. One very interesting thing I like about this book series is that the people know about the endowed kids. Over all, these are very good books. So are HP and the Bartimaeus Trilogy. To me all three are the greatest series ever made. Student age 15

Couldn't Put It Down!!!

This book was a really interesting book. When I went to my school fair, and saw this book on the shelf, I just knew I had to buy it. After I read the first two (which I finished in a day) I knew this one would be equally as good. I was right. I couldn't put it down and finished the book in a day. I read til 11 o'clock at night, it was that good. This book is about a boy, Charlie Bone, and his friends and how they find an invisible boy in the attic, Ollie Sparks. A shape-shifter, Yolanda Yewbeam, takes the form of a 12-year-old-girl named Belle. She tries to stop Charlie Bone and his friends from rescuing Ollie Sparks. If you have not read the first two books- Midnight for Chanrlie Bone, and Charlie BOne and the Time-Twister- you should read those books before reading this one. OTherwise, you will be a bit clueless about some of the concepts and people in this book. For fans of Harry Potter, you should DEFINITELY read this book and these series.
