Charlie Bone and The Invisible Boy Pages 161-210

For the first time in this book I really enjoyed reading and did not want to put the book down. It was so exciting and lead me on each chapter. So Charlies uncle is still missing until at the begging of this chapter he finds him just laying on the floor. He thinks he is dead, but he wakes up and is weak and can not speak. All Charlie found out is that his uncle lost his powers. Billy who is staying with them sees a wand and Charlie tells him he got it from that picture with the sorcerer was in. The man is evil and tortures people. Charlie stole it from him. He thought if he went back into the picture the man could give him an answer of how to get the powers back. The sorcerer says he would have to get out of the picture and see, but Charlie says no and the man charges Charlie and Charlie falls and is back in his room and Billy said you fell on me then someone stepped on my foot. They discover the rat which was in the mans pocket so they know that he did indeed escape. Billy can talk to the mouse and hear what it says and the mouse says he is lost and confused and does not know what happened. The mouse runs away and they can't find it. As this ended Mr.Ezekiel and Mr. Weedon and his aunt come to the house and try to convince Charlie to stay out of trouble and to be on their side. The old man said that if you don't you will end up like your father, dead. Then the rat appears and the people leave. His grandma wants to kill the rat, but Charlie takes it to the pet shop and he will keep it there.

Charlie Bone and The Invisible Boy Pages101-160

In these chapters of the book I got really confused as to what was going on. The chapters kept on changing scenes and I could not tell when it would change. Anyway in the first chapter I read the kids and the teacher Mr. Boldova met at the pet shop. This is like their secret meeting place so that the spies cannot hear them at school. When they meet there Charlie wants to come up with another plan to find Ollie and talk to him, however Mr. Boldova says that he does not want the kids to get involved anymore and that he needs to do it by himself. Back in the last chapter Charlie goes looking where his aunts live. While he is at his aunts house Dorcas a girl that goes to their school comes out of their house. She has been acting very weird lately everyone thought and they saw her at the pet shop and Charlie began to think that she was following them and was one of the spies. Later on in the chapters Mr. Boldova is reported that he left. The kids were shocked that he wouldn't tell them. So they came to the conclusion that something bad happened. Billy who was with them was nervous and then all the sudden said he saw what happened to the teacher. He said that Blessed's tail, the old woman who would come out from Belle's body, then the teacher froze and she used hypnosis on him Charlie said. So Billy had been the spy and the kids did not know if they could trust him yet so they didn't say anything else. Manfred asked if he told Charlie anything about what happened to Mr. Boldova and Billy said no and did not give away, because Charlie could get in serious trouble.

Week Two Reading

Charlie Bone and The Invisible Boy
Pages 55-100

I really enjoyed reading these few chapters in the book. It was leading the reader on and I didn't know what was going to happen next. I really wanted to keep on reading to see what would eventually happen. Charlie and his friends are talking to one of the teachers and discover a note on his desk. It is from his dad and it is about his brother who is missing. Now Charlie and his friends believe that there is someone up in the attic that is invisible. They go up to the attic and they find the invisible person. The person is actually the teacher's brother. They were right on who they thought it was. Charlie talks to him and he wants the two brothers to meet. They come up with a plan to get him downstairs without being noticed. He has tried a couple of times to go downstairs, but people always bump into him and freak out. The invisible guys name is Ollie Sparks and he found out something that no one should know about so he got tortured. A boa would squeeze him not to kill him just to put him in pain. The boa however squeezed him so hard that he became invisible except for one of his toes. They plan to meet each other down in the cafeteria and Charlie saves a spot for Ollie. He gets there and he lets Charlie know that he is there. Anything Ollie touches turns invisible too. When he was eating the food was disappearing and one of the students noticed and said something. No one did anything, until someone dropped a spoon or something and saw a big toe just by itself. The girl freaked out and Ollie had to run away.

Week one reading!

Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy
Pages 1 - 55

This book really sound like it could be interesting so far judging from these first pages of the book. I am a really picky person when it comes to reading. I have to be into the book or else I will not read it. The book starts out with Benjamin Brown looking out his window from his house and seeing Charlie Bone's three aunts. Their names are Lucretia, Eustacia, and Venetia. His aunts are not the friendliest people and are evil. The aunts go in the house for a little while then they go back to the car and drive off. Benjamin and his family are going on a trip to Hong Kong. They have a dog and they need Charlie to watch it while they are gone. Benjamin takes the dog over to Charlies house and leaves even though he said no. His Grandma that lives with him hates dogs and will kill it if she sees it so he has to hide it from her for two months. His Grandma brings over a little girl Charlies age and he is very attracted to her except he notices that she is kinda strange. Her eyes will change color and she seems to act like and adult. Belle is the girls name and she asks Charlie if he would show her around the school and have him help her out. Charlie and his friends at school find a letter on their teachers desk. It is from his dad and is talking about the loss of his brother. The teacher walks in and they said they read it and one of the girls Olivia starts telling him about a presence in the attic. And that is as far as I have got so far.
