Children of the Red King #2: Charlie Bone and the Time Twister
Children of the Red King #2: Charlie Bone and the Time Twister | Jenny Nimmo
The second book in the Children of the Red King series, TIME TWISTER offers more magical fantasy that is fast paced and easy to read. January 1916: Henry Yewbeam and his younger brother, James, have been sent to stay with their cousins at the Bloor's Academy. It is one of the coldest days of the year, and all Henry wants to do is hide from his mean cousins and play marbles. He finds a nice, long hall and begins to roll his marbles. Then he discovers a marble that doesn't look familiar to him. Suddenly a series of strange events takes place. Henry begins to disappear. He quickly scribbles on the floor GIVE THE MARBLE TO JAMES, and then he vanishes from the year 1916.

On a side note as I read this series, I love a creative way to draw a family tree (or a map, but alas, no maps in Children of the Red King)

Henry Yewbeam! The boy is too curious and not nearly sensible enough for his own good, her and Charlie get on like a forest fire 😆 Ever wanted to meet your ancestors but when they were the same age as you? If they‘re foolish enough to find a time twister and stare straight into it you just might get to. Dopey boys and the wonderful terrible adventures they get themselves into.

Still reading bk2. But I've caught up with the Hardcovers to Paperbacks. Only 3 more hardcovers to get and I'll have the whole series. I dont think I'll finish buying the series in paperbacks though. #CharlieBone #ChildrenoftheRedKing

It's 1AM but I had to see the adventure through! When a long lost relative of Charlie's falls through time (by means of a time twisting marble) - Charlie quickly realises that Henry (the time traveller) is in grave danger - will he be able to get Henry out of Bloor Academy unscathed? Uncle Paton was not quite as magnificent in this story - but he had a brush with death, so I forgive him! Onwards to book 3!
