    Midnight for Charlie Bone is the first book in the Charlie Bone series by Jenny Nimmo.

    When Charlie's evil grandma discovers that he can hear voices in photographs, she insists that he is sent to be a weekly boarder at the peculair Bloor's Academy. Although most of the children at Bloors are normal and are there to study art, music or drama, Charlie discovered that there are other children with special powers like him. These endowed children are decendents of the Red King and while some of them are good, others are evil. Charlie discovers that there is something evil and peculiar going on at Bloors, a girl has been trapped in a lengthy sleep so that she doesn't know her real identitiy. With the help of his new friends, Charlie sets out to discover who the girl is and to free her from the unnatural sleep.

    Everyone thinks that the Charlie Bone series is inspired by Harry Potter because it involves magic powers and some of the story takes place in a boarding school, but they are actually very different series. The Charlie Bone books may be shorter, but they have a lot more action and excitment than the thicker Harry Potter books. Jenny Nimmo has invented a great range of magic powers and I love the mystery and action in this particular book.

    The next book in the Charlie Bone series is Charlie Bone and the Time Twister.
