Couldn't Put It Down!!!, August 23, 2004
This book was a really interesting book. When I went to my school fair, and saw this book on the shelf, I just knew I had to buy it. After I read the first two (which I finished in a day) I knew this one would be equally as good. I was right. I couldn't put it down and finished the book in a day. I read til 11 o'clock at night, it was that good.
This book is about a boy, Charlie Bone, and his friends and how they find an invisible boy in the attic, Ollie Sparks. A shape-shifter, Yolanda Yewbeam, takes the form of a 12-year-old-girl named Belle. She tries to stop Charlie Bone and his friends from rescuing Ollie Sparks.
If you have not read the first two books- Midnight for Chanrlie Bone, and Charlie BOne and the Time-Twister- you should read those books before reading this one. OTherwise, you will be a bit clueless about some of the concepts and people in this book. For fans of Harry Potter, you should DEFINITELY read this book and these series.

Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy, October 12, 2004
When I first read Midnight for Charlie Bone I was on a trip and bought it as a second hand book on tape. I bought it because I expected it to be like HP.
Next I read the Time Twister, and then the Invisible boy. One of the things I like most about them is that each book is one school term so there is more story per school year. Another cool thing about them is that the kids have individual powers unlike HP where thay all can do everything.
One very interesting thing I like about this book series is that the people know about the endowed kids. Over all, these are very good books. So are HP and the Bartimaeus Trilogy. To me all three are the greatest series ever made. Student age 15

Wonderful book! Wonderful series!, September 30, 2004
I wish I had some way to get this message to Jenny Nimmo! If I could I'd love to express my thanks for writing such a wonderful series. My son whom is 10 has NEVER liked reading. He always acted as if I was dealing out punishment everytime I asked him to read even for 15min.! I didn't have that problem with any of the books in this series. The first book Midnight for Charlie Bone he read it in a Month which is a miracle in itself. The first thing he wanted to do after reading that one was go and purchase the second book Charlie Bone and the Time Twister. He read this on in only 2 weeks!! And BEGGED for the third book. This one, Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy, he read in only 3 days!!! I cannot express my gratitude to Mrs. Nimmo for opening up the world of books to my son!! You were able to reach him and allow him to succeed where countless other books have failed!! He was so excited after finishing these he said, "Hey Mom, why don't you read them? They are really great stories!" So, of course, I have also read all three! I can't agree more. Jenny Nimmo is a wonderful storyteller you don't want to put the book down!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I am one greatful Mom!!!
