Midnight for Charlie Bone

Charlie Bone is a regular boy until he starts hearing people in pictures. When his horrible aunt finds out and he is sent to Bloor's Academy things really start spiralling down hill for our hero. Like Harry Potter in his first stand off with Draco Malfoy, Charlie takes a stand and he won't be bullied into evil either. A hero we can all relate to, he's just a boy who loves his Mum and who has lost his father. Well he has, hasn't he? That is what he has always been told.

Charlie makes new friends at school but he remains loyal to his old friend as well and together they save a fair damsel.
