I would definatley recommend it to any other book lover! I love the way that it starts with the prologue and then goes on to the present At the end of every chapter there is a cliff-hanger that is why it is soooo exiting to read!

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy. It was great. Like the last book it is fantasy but with this book it is also historical at times by usesing the timeline of Charlie's and Manfred's family history.

I love how this book is continued from the first chapter in this series, it is such a relief to finally know what happens to Charlie Bone! The Time Twister is a mysterious object in the form of a marble, and if you look into it, you will have no power against it taking you forwards or back in time. In this book, Charlie meets and looks after a boy who was unfortunate enough to be tricked into looking upon the Time Twister...

This was an interesting book and I liked the way Jenny thought about the consequences of time traveling. But it all ends up just right!

This book is about a boy who can travel to and talk to people in paintings. In this one, he meets a boy who has traveled in time with the aid of a glass marble. Can he protect him against the evil Bloor family who are up to no good?
