From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6-When he is 10 years old, Charlie discovers that he is able to look at photographs and hear conversations and even thoughts that were taking place at the time the photo was taken, a legacy of his ancestor the Red King, whose descendants all have different magical abilities. Charlie hears one conversation that sets him on a search for a girl who has been missing for years, and when he begins attending Bloor's Academy, an elite boarding school for the rich and the endowed (as the Red King's descendants are called), his life becomes full of intrigue and danger. Charlie, his friend Benjamin, and other allies try to unlock the secrets of a mysterious case that could get the girl back, while the sinister Bloors and Charlie's ghastly relatives who are endowed try to thwart them. While the parallels with Harry Potter are obvious, this fantasy has its own charms, chief among them being the endoweds' often-odd magical abilities. The writing is deft, most of the characters are intriguing, and Charlie Bone is an appealing boy. The story is marred by some predictability, and the role of the endowed in this otherwise contemporary, unmagical society is not clear. Many aspects of the book are not fully thought out, making it less compelling than it might be. However, this is the first of a projected series, so it will be interesting to see if some of these vague points are resolved. A flawed but worthwhile offering for avid fantasy fans.

From Booklist

Gr. 4-6. These days stories about schools for budding magicians are inevitably compared to the Harry Potter books. Indeed, British author Nimmo's creation, Bloor's Academy "for gifted children," bears some resemblance to Hogwart's School, but the story itself is quite different. Seemingly ordinary Charlie Bone suddenly discovers that he can hear the thoughts of people in photographs, a talent that dour Grandma Bone and her three baleful sisters work to bend to their own ends by sending him to Bloor's and to its sinister headmaster. It's not an easy year for Charlie despite the friends he makes. Too many people have it in for him as he's swept into an age-old battle being waged by descendants of a powerful king of long ago. A mysterious box, a missing girl, a strange man who flits in and out in the company of three brightly colored cats, and various villains all figure into Charlie's exciting, fast-paced adventure tale, which happily is the first book in planned quintet called Children of the Red King. Harry Potter's myriad fans will be well pleased. Sally Estes

4.0étoiles sur 5 Definitely a good pick, Jui 23 2005
This review is from: Midnight For Charlie Bone (Paperback)
This was a wonderfully smooth read. Though it wasn't particularly astonishing, I enoyed it and the rest in the series quite a lot. This is Fantasy/Magic but everybody will be able to enjoy and understand it. I defintely recommend this book - and the rest. It may not become your favourite, but it will earn a spot on your bookshelf.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Is Charlie Bone, not Harry Potter, Juil 18 2004
Par Viki (Las Vegas, NV USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
When I brought this book at my school library book fair, and read the description, I thought, "Oh, is just a copy of Harry Potter." Well, since my curiosity took me, I brought it anyway. So now after lefting the book in the bookshelve for an year, I finally read the book and thought, "Hey this is nothing like Harry Potter!" This book is like, completely different from Harry Potter; although Charlie Bone did go to a different school after discovering that he can hear people's thought through pictures. In this book, Charlie goes through advantures discovering mysterious that beholds inside a inventures case, that's remain locked. Charlie and friends finds more clues while he attends to Bloors Academy for the genius'. So this book is basically a different story from any other story that I have read. I don't know know why they always put Harry Potter next to it, but it just doesn't have anything to do with Harry Potter, I mean, the whole theme is different, and Charlie is not a wizard, as far as I know. So I do recommend you guys this book. I rated this book a five star 'cause it is a good book afterall. Though I would say Harry Potter is a better series. But do read Charlie Bones advanture!
