Talk about Engaging!

This is a wonderful book, the first book in a series written by brilliant author Jenny Nimmo. My kids absolutely loved this book and so did I. We could not stop listening and would often drive around for hours just to continue listening on. The plot is very engaging and the characters are very interesting to say the least. The reader definitely adds so much to this book. His character depictions were brilliant and his execution was perfect. I have tried to find the second book in the series (Charlie and the Time Twister) on CD, but was unable to do so anywhere for a decent price on the net. It is available on audiocassette, but at a heftier price than normal for that format. I encourage you and your middle school aged children to give this one a go---you will not be sorry.

This was great you Harry Potter fans. It is the first in a series that now numbers 6. You will have to go to Amazon to keep going with the series.
