Midnight for Charlie Bone (The Children of the Red King, Book 1) Midnight for Charlie Bone (The Children of the Red King, Book 1)

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, and to some of the children he met behind the grim, gray walls of Bloor’s Academy. Charlie Bone has discovered an unusual gift-he can hear people in photographs talking! His scheming aunts decide to send him to Bloor Academy, a school for genius’s where he uses his gifts to discover the truth despite all the dangers that lie ahead.

Customer Review: got here quickly
this product was mailed to me quickly and I’m very happy with the service I recieved
Customer Review: Not a horrible book; just not a very good one
(I read the first 3 Charlie Bone books, so this review is probably more of an indictment of the entire series in general rather than any one book in particular.)

Maybe Days: A Book for Children in Foster Care Maybe Days: A Book for Children in Foster Care Will I live with my parents again? Will I stay with my foster parents forever? For children in foster care, the answer to many questions is often “maybe.” Maybe Days addresses the questions, feelings, and concerns these children most often face. Honest and reassuring, it also provides basic information that children want and need to know, including the roles of various people in the foster care system and whom to ask for help. An extensive afterword for adults caring for foster children describes the child’s experience, underscores the importance of open communication, and outlines a variety of ways to help children adjust to the “maybe days”- and to thrive.
Customer Review: Great for Kids and Adults
I work at a proctor care agency. This book has been a great tool for helping children who are in Foster Care feel normal again. It’s also been great to help the foster parents stop and realize all the different emotions and feelings their foster children are working through.
Customer Review: Provides Some Comfort
Maybe Days provided my 8 year old foster child with some comforting words. In language a young child can understand, it gives the “big” picture of the foster care sysytem. It acknowledges the fact that many aspects are unknown for the child as well as for the foster parents. My foster child has asked me to read it over and over again.

This book, as always, was great. We love the Charlie Bone series. The audio is great for the car, or for following along for younger kids. I highly recommend anything by Jenny Nimmo!

Customer Review: a good fantasy
I love to read. I read a wonderful fantasy called Charlie Bone and the

Time Twister. The book was written by Jenny Nimmo. The author must

have a good imagination to think of special powers.

The book begins with a young boy named Henry from the 1900’s
