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

Midnight has come and gone for #CharlieBone and now a storm is coming in! It was great being back with Charlie and all his mysterious friends. #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!
