By Jenny Nimmo
Read it, Rate it, Review It

The fabulous powers of the Red King were passed down through his descendants, after turning up quite unexpectedly, in someone who had no idea where they came from. This is what happened to Charlie Bone...

Excerpt:
The photograph that Charlie now held showed a man holding a baby. The man sat on an upright chair. He had thinning, grayish, hair and a long, mournful face. His crumpled suit was black and his thick pebble glasses gave his pale gray eyes a lost marblelike stare.

Midnight for Charlie Bone is said to be a children's book. I disagree. I am sixteen years old with a rather high reading level and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It contains every aspect a book should contain in order to keep you wanting more and more. I definitely recommend reading this book and you bet I will be reading the rest of the children of the red king series! Lovely book!
