Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy

fullDescription

This semester at Bloor's Academy brings a few changes. There is a new art teacher, Mr. Boldova, and a new student, Belle, who lives with the Yewbeam aunts and seems to have a strange power over them.
Emma and Charlie soon discover Mr. Boldova's secret identity: He is the older brother of Ollie Sparks, the boy who lives in the attic of Bloor's Academy. Ollie had always been prying into matters that didn't concern him, so Ezekiel Bloor made him invisible. When Charlie and his friends find him, Ollie is alone and hungry. They promise to make Ollie visible again with the aid of his brother, Mr. Boldova.
Can Charlie and his friends save Ollie?

   • content: How can Charlie cope? Between his nasty grandmother and great-aunts, his deathly ill great-uncle, and the invisible boy living on jam in the attics of Bloor's Academy he hardly knows whether he's coming or going. Charlie wants to solve so many problems, but he gets snagged by a tricky sorcerer and an ancient shape-shifter posing as a pretty girl at school. With persistence, plucky friends, and some supernatural help, Charlie gets things worked out in the end. Simon Russell Beale keeps this good-hearted fantasy going with a smooth delivery, subtle vocalizations, and high energy. Poor Charlie has fallen under the shadow of Harry Potter, but here he comes into his own with help from Beale. J.M.S. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine

     Gr 4-7 -The third title (Orchard, 2004) in Jenny Nimmo's "The Children of the Red King" series finds Charlie Bone entering boarding school. Charlie and Emma find an invisible boy named Ollie Sparks at the school, and the story mainly involves their efforts to make Ollie visible again. Charlie's great aunts, reminiscent of Macbeth's three witches, work with a mysterious and frightening girl named Belle to counter any of the children's attempts toward defeating evil. Belle's eyes disconcertingly change color with her moods and she is sweetly threatening to the other children. The comparisons with the Harry Potter series are inevitable, with a great many similarities. Listeners who have not read the first two titles in the quartet may be confused by all of the references to events in the previous books; little history is given to help those new to the series. For example, why do Charlie and his sweet mother live with these obviously wicked aunts? Apparently wicked magician Ezekiel Bloor and his family are the nemeses of good forces. Charlie's inadvertent releasing of Skarpo the Sorcerer from his portrait presumably will be the focus of the last book in the series. Simon Russell Beale infuses his well-paced reading with a sense of conviction, allowing newcomers to the series to relate better to the unfamiliar characters. -"B.
