    2. I really enjoyed this book. It may be my favorite in the series so far. I like how so much of Charlie’s support network is taken away and he has to do things himself for most of the book, and I like how there are so many pieces of this book which all come together. Looking forward to the next installment in Charlie and his friends’ adventures.

    4. Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy by Jenny Nimmo was the third installment of the Charlie Bone series. Charlie Bone is up to his usual shenanigans as a lovable idiot, at a school where he has the power to communicate with paintings. But this time around he is able to do something that he has never done before: take a powerful, and possibly evil wizard out of a painting. With him causing havoc, an invisible boy wandering throughout the school, an evil blue boa, and extremely evil relative of cha [...]

The book is about Charlie and his friends discover an invisible boy in the attic of the academy. Throughout the book Charlie is constantly solving clues that lead to another clue. With him exploring and discovering new things at this school he makes more problems and enemies. The book leaves you at the end of your seat.

    7. I quickly read this after finishing the second book in the series, both because I have a deadline and because I enjoyed it tremendously. I'm so happy I decided to continue this series! With each new additional story, I fall further for the story and characters. Though I wouldn't say it's perfect, it's got me hooked. I'm very excited to read the next book!

    8. This is my review. The book begins with Benjamin going over to Charlies House with his Dog that he asks Charlie to take care of while he is in Hong Kong. Charlie hides the dog with a fear of his grandmother finding it because of the possible consequences.The book did not really intrigue me and i found it boring so hopefully i will find a better book in september.

    9. The Red King had a pet boa. One of his sons was mean to the snake, and the snake turned mean. A daughter changed the boa's squeeze from death to invisibility. The boa squeezed Ollie Sparks on orders from the Bloors. Ollie's brother Samuel took on a teachers persona to find him. Yolanda, an aunt of Charlie's great-aunts, is a shape-shifter. She presents as a small girl, and tries to turn Charlie. Uncle Paton had left to visit Castle Yewbeam, but an ancestor fought him, threatened him, and made hi [...]

    10. Revisiting a childhood series because I hate leaving things unfinished. This is a children's/young adult series and I'm doing my best to think of it in those terms.#3 is a fast read like the first 2, but I'm getting bored. Although some of her descriptors and writing style are getting stronger - the plot to this installment was all over the place. We have learned incredibly little about why the "bad guys" are bad and there seems to be very little build from book to book. Each book (up until this [...]

    11. This book is about a boy named Charlie Bone, who goes to a school called Bloors, where there are endowed children, that is, children with strange powers. This book is amazing because it has a great plot, making you want to read more for every page that you read. It also has great characters explanation, because it does not only focus on Charlie's feelings, it also show you the feelings of the others through Charlie's mind. It also has a mysterious feel, making you shiver in anticipation for the [...]

    12. This is a fun and engaging juvenile book series that keeps readers guessing. It is about a 10-year-old boy named Charlie Bone who discovers that her has the special ability to hear the voices of people in photographs. Turns out there are other children with magical “endowments” and they go to school at the mysterious Bloor’s Academy. After being coerced into going to Bloor’s Academy by his indifferent grandmother, Charlie becomes entangled in a nefarious plot and recues a girl from an en [...]

    13. Charlie Bone encounters another weird event in his boarding school, Bloor Academy, a boy who has been living in the attics in an invisible state. Charlie, of course, wants to correct the wrongs and works with his other magical friends toward that end. In this third book of the series we still do not know exactly what has happened to his father so that mystery continues. I've listened to this series before, so I know, but that allows me to pick up on some of the other things in the stories I may [...]

    14. Honestly, I Just love how every character teamed up together in this and I'm starting to see the sides of the good and bad. I love how as we read each book there is more and more character development within the books and we find out more and more about each character and what their endowments entail.

    15. as I grow accustomed to the characters I become more fond of them. kids who enjoy harry potter will likely enjoy this series. it's nice that Billy gets a certain level of redemption because no one wants to see the vulnerable little kid being totally evil.

    21. I think these are as delightful as Harry Potter. I'm not going to deny it. And the audiobooks are very well done.

    26. Great book series for young readers. The fast moving story and the large line spacing is great for dyslexics feeling successful.

    27. A new term and a new adventure awaits Charlie Bone and his friends. This time there are rumours of an invisible boy at Bloor's Academy. Can Charlie and his friends find the boy and turn him visible again?

    28. This book had the same strengths and weaknesses, really, of the first two: fun characters, interesting settings, bad writing. I found it a bit episodic: Charlie and friends uncover a new problem to solve, and another, and another . . . I also took issue with the weak villains.It's funny: as a kid, I hated having characters killed off, ever. Now, probably due to the Harry Potter series, I just can't take an evil character seriously - not just a bully, I mean, but an evil character - unless s/he s [...]

    29. Third book in the Children of the Red King series and it is just as fast paced and fun as the proceeding two books.Charlie 's grandma Maisie, has gone to visit her sister. His Uncle Paton is off to prevent some evil his sisters have cooked up and his best friend, Benjiman, has gone off on vacation and left his dog with Charlie. Charlie is back to school and seems to have run into an invisible boy which of course is Old Mr. Bloor's fault. Once again Charlie feels compelled to help this boy become [...]

    30. When I read this originally 15+ years ago, I always felt sorry for Olly that he couldn’t go back in time and grow up where he was supposed to be, but it make me feel better that at least he got to see and live with his younger brother. I liked this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series.
