Book Review: Charlie Bone and the Time Twister


Charlie Bone and the Time Twister: Children of the Red Kin Book 2 by Jenny Nimmo, Orchard Books, New York, 2003.
This is the second book of the Charlie Bone universe.  Charlie, and his uncle, Paton are both endowed with special powers.  They must use these powers to save a boy who has traveled back through time.  Henry Yewbeam was tricked by his cousin Ezekiel.  He was sent forward in time, 80 years, and lands at the feet of Charlie.  Ezekiel is the owner and evil power behind Bloors Academy where Charlie attends school.  Charlie recruits his friends and his uncle to save the boy--but it is impossible to send him back in time, because the world has already moved on with the assumption that he disappeared many years before.  The solution is quite remarkable.
