Midnight For Charlie Bone, Jenny Nimmo review by Jeffrey L.

This story is about Charlie Bone, a magically gifted boy who lives with his mom, two grandmothers named Grandma Bone and Maisie, and with an uncle Paton. During the story, Charlie also meets several friends named Billy, Fedelio, and Olivia. A few other characters are the Yewbeam aunts, who are the sinister sisters of Grandma Bone, Julia Ingledew, who runs a bookshop and is the aunt of the stolen baby, and Benjamin, who is Charlie's best friend. The story starts when Charlie Bone gets the wrong photograph he ordered for Benjamin's birthday card. He discovers that he can hear voices in the photograph, which is a skill he later finds out decended from a skilled magician called the Red King. The Yewbeam aunts find out and force him to a school called the Bloor's Academy, a school for both gifted and magical students. Meanwhile, he finds out the misplaced photograph came from a bookseller named Ms. Ingledew, who gives him a locked box that holds the secret to "waking" her sister's baby up, who had been exchanched for something in the box. At Bloor's Academy, Charlie and his new friend discover that the Bloors had taken the baby, who they discover is a girl named Emma, and hypnotized her. Charlie and his friend have to find out how to open the box and wake Emma up so she can return to her aunt, Ms. Ingledew.

I would reccomend Midnight for Charlie Bone for many reasons. One reason is that the book has a well set plot and descriptive words. It also book appeals greatly to kids in elementry school and people who enjoy reading fantasy or about supernatural abilities. Overall, this book is a unique and exciting book.
