Midnight for Charlie Bone
You’d think having the ability to hear photographs speak would be kind of cool, wouldn’t you? But not for Charlie Bone. As soon as Charlie’s gift starts to awaken, his awful Grandma Bone packs him off to Bloor’s Academy: an ultra-strict school for kids with magical gifts. (Calls itself a school. Feels like a deadly prison.) Forget Hogwarts. There won’t be any potions classes, magical pranks or days out in Hogsmeade. This gloomy, spooky place is all darkness, shadows and bullies. Even worse, ‘surviving total evil’ counts as a great score on your report card…
