Title: Charlie Bone and the Time Twister
Series: Charlie Bone - 2nd book
Author: Jenny Nimmo
Read Before: no
Comments: The author manages to make Charlie's fairly ordinary and limited ability of being able to enter photographs extraordinary and interesting. The plot of this sequel is Henry, one of Charlie's ancestors (great-grandfather's brother) is whipped out from his time to the present day. Filled with likeable characters and a constant stream of subplots, The Time Twister is an enjoyable read. Billy Raven, one of the spies for the Bloors (antagonists), is a very unlikeable character. There are some really neat concepts in the book and the ending is truly heartwarming. While there were a few sections where characters acted illogically or it was a bit violet (e.g. "didn't get hit by the bus"), these are easily forgivable.
Rating: 6.5/10
