Synopsis

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?

Another wonderful return to the world of Charlie Bone and the Children of the Red King series. <3 While overall I still really enjoyed this book and gave it four stars, I have to say this wasn't my favorite in the series thus far.

An sich recht düstere Kinder-Fantasy, die aber ebenso lichterfrohe warmherzige Orte und Charaktere bereithält, so dass man diese turbulenten, oft schmerzhaft gemeinen Verstrickungen letztendlich verdauen kann. Charlies Tanten, nebst Oma Bone sind eine Zumutung. Hier innerlich ruhig zu bleiben, ist g......more
