Publisher's summary

Charlie hopes that the new term at Bloor's Academy will hold no nasty surprises. But then Henry Yewbeam appears, twisted through time from the icy winter of 1916.

With the scheming Yewbeam aunts on the prowl, and the Bloors out to catch him, Henry will need Charlie's help just to stay alive. Bloor's Academy can be a very dangerous place!

Critic reviews

"Jenny Nimmo...has a brilliant sense of storytelling and a well-tuned ear for good writing. Shakespearean actor Simon Russell Beale adds wonder to this book with his rich baritone reading." (AudioFile)

Excellent

Henry gets into so much trouble since he is impulsive. It's all anyone can do to keep saving Henry from all the trouble he gets into. He is a sweet boy but he needs lots of supervision.

Deeper than you might think!

The Time Twister is my favorite of the Charlie Bone books. I love them all. This book had a great impact on me. So much of coming of age in Hollywood is about loss of innocence. This story says to me that innocence has great beauty and power. The Harry Potter books get me through until the next Charlie Bone book is released.

this series is becoming my favorite!!

although i feel like i missed out on these books as a kid, i’m so glad my partner introduced me to them because they’re no less entertaining now. i feel like i’m inside the story with the characters, tagging along on each adventure. her imagery feels like magic as i listen! a great read for any audience, i’d say. the narrator is brilliant as well! he makes each character seem so real and i can’t imagine anyone else doing it.

so much airspace

The story itself was good and the narrator was good. The publisher very obviously did not do any QC before releasing the audio, however. So many gaps in audio, which was very annoying. I hope they look at fixing this for future listeners.

Narrator success

I enjoyed this book, the narration was perfect.
I wish the last three books had this narrator as well.

Fantastic story!

This was a great book. The characters are excellently developed. It’s fairly easy to know the good vs the evil but also the bullied and the bullies, the conflicted and the determined.
Excellent for tweens and teens. Also for adults.
