Midnight for Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo aka My favorite book. This book is about Charlie Bone who has the ability to talk with paintings/portraits, with this unique ability he goes to Bloor Academy. Bloor Academy an elite school for the wealthy and the gifted. The book follows Charlie as he progresses Bloor’s Academy. I read this during the 3rd grade and, I found it really exciting because of his unique power which allowed him to speak to paintings. The way the author (Jenny Nimmo) wrote the book was for it to be a cliffhanger (from what I remember.) The book was also written in a way so that a 3rd grader would be able to read it and understand what is happening. What I really liked about the way it was written was that it made me feel like I was older then I really was. The book also had this way that if you forgot 30 pages worth of info, you would be able to recover and relearn what happened. I think the author wrote the book this way because it was meant for …show more content…

What really was surprising to me was that when a person thinks about powers, they would think about super strength, speed, flying powers etc. This book is different it didn 't make Charlie have the abilities of a god, he just has this ability to be able to speak with paintings and portraits. What I liked about the book is that she made the book into the mindset of a kid. If you admit it, one point in our life we have daydreamed of yourself going to a really prestigious school or that, you had powers of some sort. One question. What was her motivation to write 8 books. This book didn’t really “teach” me anything but it it meaningful to me. The book Midnight for Charlie Bone was one of the most important books to me, why? This was the first actually chapter book that I read and, it was the first book I read where I

The author ended with a cliffhanger but it doesn’t really make me want to read the next one. If he had made the book longer and finished talking about how Sarney and Nightjohn taught in the pit school it would’ve been better. I wouldn’t recommend this book to someone unless they really liked books about history. My opinion on the movie is worse than the book. The only thing I liked about the movie is that Pawley got married and the slaves seem happier than described in the book.

What I didn 't like about my book is that it left me on a cliff hanger. I cannot tell you how much I dislike cliff hangers. They make everything so confusing. For example you have an idea of what the ending will be, then the cliffhangers come around and they put a twist on your theory. They leave you in suspicion wondering about what will happen next, and they make it seem like there is going to be another book, when there isn 't. Sometimes they aren 't annoying, they just make you think about the story, and the purpose of the story in a way.

The page setup of the book was spaced out and divided into easily comprehensible paragraphs. The text also included what appeared to be sketched images, which would be helpful to keep a child interested and engaged. The plot of the book built on itself well, and it led to the big picture idea at the end in a very easily understandable way. Every piece of the story that the author provided along the way added an element of deeper understanding, which resulted in a very meaningful end to the tale.

I am an avid reader and reading has been my favorite hobby for a great deal of my life. When I am reading a book, I don 't just glance at the words, I dive into the world that the pages describe. Unfortunately, when I do this I render myself oblivious to my surroundings, such as people attempting to talk to me and the current time. The latter of which has resulted in me missing various types of deadlines, such as arriving somewhere late or going to sleep at an absurd hour in the early morning.

For example, on page 299, “I felt sick inside as I looked at his dull, vacuous smile, the wide bright eyes of a child, uncertain but easy to please. And I had been laughing at him too. Suddenly, I was furious at myself and all those who were laughing at him.” Here, Charlie was realizing that people were mean and rude to people who weren’t like them. That people looked down to people who were different than them or not as smart.
