Charlie Bone and the Time Twister
(Book 2) Charlie Bone and the Time Twister
By Jenny Nimmo
Read it, Rate it, Review It

Charlie Bone hoped the new semester at Bloor's Academy would hold no nasty surprises. But then suddenly Henry Yewbeam appears out of nowhere.

Excerpt:
Gradually the pale fragments grew more vivid. Now they were forming a blurred shape, blue with a touch of black beneath it. Before Charlie's astonished gaze, a figure in a blue hooded cape was materializing.

Charlie had no doubt that he was seeing a ghost. But when the figure turned to face him, he found, to his horror, that he was looking at…himself.

I thought it was great! But before you get your hands on this book, I would highly recommend that you read book 1 first.
Layne S. Age 11

I love to read books like this, where the characters struggle to help each other through mystery so dense you can't see your hand in front of your face.
Dannielle H. Age 11

I loved this book and I now am doing a book project on it
Kyle H. Age 13

I think Charlie and the gang have a good adventure in this book.
Victoria O. Age 10

This book is the best ever and I hope you have kids one day and hope you like it too!
Ryan M. Age 12

This is the BEST Charlie Bone book I have read yet. The plot is excellent and the characters have evolved into children mature for their age. There are several main plot twists that are SO cool. Olivia has the best twist I have ever heard of or read. I would recommend it to anybody.
Josh M. Age 13

This was a great book, packed with suspense, mystery, and magic. I enjoyed it tremendously. Along with another new endowed student, you meet someone who didn't know they WERE endowed. Answers many questions, but still leaves you hanging.
Melissa G. Age 12

It’s pretty cool he thinks he found his father, but finds out later it isn't his father.
Thomas J. Age  27

I loved it was full of adventure and mystery.
Ghada G. Age 12

Well, if you liked the first three books then this is the book you should read. It is full of adventure and suspense. I found this book on the shelf at a book-store one day and I hadn't even known they had made another one. I don't want to give it away so I'll just let you read it!
Megan K. Age 10

I haven't read this book yet but my best friend has and he said it was great! So of course I'm very anxious to read it!
Layne S. Age 11

This book is fantastic!  I couldn't put it down! I got in plenty of trouble for staying up and reading the Charlie bone series but most of all Midnight for Charlie Bone!! This book is awesome and a must read!!!
Lauren R. Age 12

Best book I ever read!
Chris W. Age 12

This book is better than the rest!  Right after I finished Midnight for
Charlie Bone, I rushed back to the library the next day for this one! This book is better than the last!
Meghan B. Age 11

The second book is much better than the first book. I really do not like the old man because he is very cruel to his cousin Henry. I really like the book. This book is very interesting.
Josephine Y. Age 18

This is a really good book especially for those who love mysteries.

Chinwe O. Age 11

Brilliant. Fast-paced, mystery-filled and a lot of fun and laughter. Jenny Nimmo has outdone herself with this great book.
Matt R. Age 13

My curiosity continues! As soon as I put down the first one, I screamed for more!
Katie B. Age 11

This book was even better than the first! A real page-turner, and keeps you guessing until the end!
Nolee T. Age 14

It was filled with action. I think that there should be a fourth and a fifth book as long as they keep it interesting.
Michele M. Age 12

I enjoyed this book very much. It had a suspenseful pace, and was easier to read than the first book. (which was also very good.) I recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy novels.

Chasing Vermeer is one of the best books I've ever read! It's mysterious, interesting, and funny. I couldn't put it down!
Kat J., 11,

This book was the best book I've ever read. Ever since the day I read it I've been thinking about coincidences. On a scale of 1-10, I'd say a 12!
Nimi O. Age 11

This book is interesting, puzzling (in a good way), and shows a great view of the public perspective of art. This is a great one!
Talia R. Age 9

I usual don't like mysteries much, but this one rocks!! You should make a sequel!!

This book was awesome!!! After I started reading it there was no way I could put it down!!! I even tried to figure the mystery out on my own. I recommend this book to any one who likes mysteries or a great adventure
Paige B. Age 12

I thought this was the best book I've read so far in the series. There was a lot of mystery and excitement. I got it for a library book. I liked it so much, I read it in three days! (P.S. I think it was even better than Harry Potter and I like Harry Potter a lot!)
Elaina E. Age 9

I'm a great fan of Jenny Nimmo's books but I found this was so full of suspense and action I loved it and can't wait till the next book comes out.

Shakiya H. Age 11

I think it's a wonderful book full of surprises.
Michelle. Age 12

I think that the way Jenny describes her characters and the way the story just sucks you in is awesome. I really love Harry Potter and could not wait until the next book came out, now I can't wait to go buy the next Charlie Bone book.
Ashlyn M. Age 14

This book was a capturing Display of fantasy and adventure.
Derrik S. Age 10

The suspense and mystery makes this book fast moving and great! The obvious part of the plot is always there keeping you guessing, while the tiny parts of the plot that is in all three books hides in the shadows, waiting to connect.
Tyann S. Age 13

This book was awesome! Full of magic and suspicion. I couldn't put it down.
Bridget L. Age 13

I LOVE THE CHARLIE BONE BOOKS.I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE THIRD ONE.
Jessica N. Age 12

This book is great! It's really not like Harry Potter at all. The only thing that's the same is that they both go to school. Raise your hand if you don't go to school. You in the back, put your hand down. Everybody goes to school!!! Read it. It's great. You'll absolutely love it!!!
Tamieka B. Age 15

It's a great book, full of magic and surprises. I can't wait to read the newest of the series.
Yvonne E. Age 13

This book is even better than the first. It has way more suspense and you really get to see Emma's endowment. I just wish it was real.
Gwen W. Age 13

The book had great enthusiasm. I liked how it was full of mystery and action. I liked it a lot!
Kyle L. Age 12

It was great. It was like mystery and magic intertwined together!!! I loved it!

I thought this book was better than the first. It was really exciting to read!
Daniel M. Age 11

I've read the first two books in the series. I'm reading the third, and I can't wait for a fourth. If they made the Charlie Bone books into movies, I would want to be in it soooooooo bad.
Tyler H. Age 13

I think all the books are great. It puts the reader in a world of magic, fantasy, and mystery. I have read all three of the books that are out at this time. I think the books are very comparable to the Harry Potter books, so if you like those books, you should like these books.
Kari R. Age 15

It's an extremely good read! Anti-put-down-material I call it. I would recommend Midnight for Charlie Bone to anybody with more than 100 brain cells.
Vegejim Age 11

I loved this book so much. I could't stop reading it! I loved it!
Thank-you for making such an interesting series!!!
Hannah F.B, Age 13

This book was great! I'm mostly a fantasy reading fan. I found out about the book while looking in the Scholastic booklet and I decided to get it. Keep up the good work Jenny.
Ricardo R, Age 12

The Time Twister was one of the best books I have ever read i am now reading the third book of the Charlie bone series (the blue Boa) and it is almost just as good.
Amiee.C, Age 12

In this marvelous book there are twists and turns making you want to read and read and read. My teacher read this book to us and we'd ask all the time "Can you read more". If
Beau Carr Age 11

A great book for all ages. Very mysterious and suspenseful.

Emily M Age 10

This second installment of the Charlie Bone series is extremely exciting and suspenseful I can't wait to read the third one.
Kyle W. Age 10,

Another work of art from Jenny Nimmo! Usually I don't read books as long as this, but the length doesn't matter for this book! It's so exciting it could be 7,000 pages long!
Brianna M. Age 11

Jenny Nimmo is a wonderful author. She catches your interest in Midnight for Charlie Bone. Then goes into a more complicated story. Great book!
Cara B, Age 11

It's very interesting. I think it could win a ''best book of the year ''award.
Yella Y, Age 9

I liked this and the first book. Both are very interesting and have tiny clues to future events and to other mysteries. It's cool!
Kate O. Age 11

This book is absolutely amazing! Charlie Bone has embarked on yet another amazing adventure!
Matthew F Age 10

I thought it was cool how Charlie saw his great-great-uncle as a kid. It was one of those pick up can't put down books.
Tory D. Age 9

A fantastic never-ending book with uncountable dead ends and cliffhangers. A brilliant book!!
Katie R. Age 11

I really loved this book an I think anybody that is a fan of magic and things should read this book. I think it would be best for children age 9 and up.
Page D Age 10

This book was soo cool! I loved the mysteriousness of it and all the characters. I still wonder what happened to Charlie's dad... Well READ THIS BOOK it is one of the best written!
Kelly E., Age 13

This book was amazing! After reading the first, I couldn't stop! I highly recommend both of these books. You won't be able to keep your hands off!
Meryn C. Age 13

It was very tempting to read on when you read the beginning of "Charlie
Bone and the Time Twister". How Henry Yewbeam twisted through time was something everyone wanted to know. Ms. Jenny Nimmo gave very good details, without telling the secrets.
Allen Y., Age 11

I loved this book. It keeps on getting better. I can't wait till the 3rd one. I couldn't stop reading the book. I was glued to it.
Vince L., Age 11

Did you like the first book? Then you will love this one! Jenny Nimmo has yet again created a single book that displays suspense, friendship, and just believing in yourself. If you read one page, you have to read the next. It's irresistible!
Samantha S., Age 12

"Charlie Bone and the Time Twister" is a very interesting book and enjoyed reading it very much. I would recommend the book to anyone who likes magic and fantasy. I would give this book a rating of five out of five stars. If you were to read this book I would recommend that you first read the prequel "Midnight for Charlie Bone."
Alexander H. Age 11

This book was extraordinary. It was about a boy who travels from the chilly winters of 1916 to the future. He and a newfound friend have to escape from bad guys who want to do away with him forever. I give this book five *****s!
Rachel H. Age 10

I loved this book! It was full of suspense and mystery every step of the way! I have never read such a book that captures the reader's mind like this book.
Ashwin A. Age 13

I think that this book is the best one in the series. It is definitely a page-turner.
Maria V. Age 11

This was a very exciting book. I am 14 and liked it very much. I have finished the second one and am doing a presentation for it at my school. I am reading the third one right now. I love these series and I hope there are more!!
Nina L. Age 14
