Summary: Charlie Bone and the Time Twister
Comment: Both my 11yr. old son and I loved this book. It was hard to put down. We read the first book Midnight for Charlie Bone and we cannot wait to read the third book. The plot is great and suspenseful. If you loved Harry Potter you will love Charlie Bone.

Summary: Time Stands Still
Comment: Charlie Bone and the Time Twister is book II in the series Children of the Red King. A sequel to the first book Midnight for Charlie Bone, this book continues with the theme of twelve endowed children, all related to the powerful Red King. The main theme of this book reminds me of the scheme used to create the popular series Harry Potter, which now has made a multi million empire thru movies as well as the books. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a large imagination and would like to laugh at the mere thought of turning into a bird, or hearing photographs talk. At the same time, the characters are very easy to relate to, especially for a younger adult struggling with the tensions of growing up in a strict home. Every character has a characteristic about him or her that can easily be related to real life in a number of ways. For example, all Billy Raven wants is a family, someone to love him. I'm sure that every person can relate to that during one point in their life or another. The one thing that i really enjoyed about this book was that no matter how hard you try, it is very hard to put the book down. It sucks you into the plot and you just want to know what will happen next. Its not very predictable, and is very subtle with clues thru out the whole story. Something will appear in chapter two which you though was nothing to be concerned with, and it will reappear in chapter seven and change the whole ending of the story. It keeps you guessing about every twist and turn around the corner. There are parts that make you laugh so hard you lose your page and other parts that keep you on the edge of your seat, just wondering if everything will be all right in the end. In such a series, you can never be sure because there is always something going wrong. The one flaw in the book is the same thing that i liked. Sometimes plot elements come from nowhere, and others are clearly just for drama and entertainment. You begin to wonder how much of the story is necessary for the plot to take place successfully. I personally enjoyed the book thoroughly not only because it exercised my imagination, but because it was easy to read as well as enjoyable. The vocabulary was very easy to comprehend and the plot was easy to understand. I would recommend this book to libraries big in fantasy, or to anyone who needs a book to bring along with them to the beach. A light read with a playful plot will give anyone the boost of imagination that is craved in today's society.
