Charlie Bone books I II and III by Jenny Nimmo

Midnight For Charlie Bone, Charlie Bone and the Time Twister ,and Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy by Jenny Nimmo are pretty good books. They are about Charlie bone, a 10/11 year old boy who discovers he has the magical ability to hear people talking in pictures [what they said what the picture was taken]. His gleeful aunts quickly ship him off to Bloor's Academy, where geniuses go. When he gets there, Charlie discovers a thick plot that begins to unravel, concerning a traded off baby, a hypnotised girl and a missing father. The next 2 books are different, much easier to understand. It might just be me, but in the first 2 books, I kept messing up who people are.
My rating: ***
