Midnight for Charlie Bone

© Jillian Louise Gregory

What if you looked at a picture of your family and heard the voices of your brothers and sisters actually talking in the picture? Would you freak out? Would you think you had gone mad? What if you had to wear a cape to school or you would receive detention? Charlie Bone could hear voices in pictures and a cape was a required part of his school uniform.

Midnight for Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo is a magical adventure about a young boy named Charlie Bone. Charlie Bone could hear voices in pictures, but he didn't know why until he found out he was endowed.

Charlie didn't exactly know what endowed meant, but he knew he was now headed for Bloors Academy. While in school at Bloors Academy, Charlie learned more about his special powers and the magical powers of others that can be used for good as well as evil.
