Product Description
Life should be perfect for Charlie now that his parents have been reunited. But mystery and adventure always find him. This time Asa, a fellow classmate who changes into a beast at dusk and Charlie's sometime enemy, is missing. His parents seek out Charlie for help, and now Charlie needs the help of the Flames to rescue his classmate.
Manfred Bloor has also taken the new endowed student, Dagbert Endless, under his wing and Charlie is highly suspicious of the pair. Can the Flames and Charlie rescue Asa without being caught by Manfred and Dagbert?
Rolling right along...
In this sixth installment, Charlie faces two challenges: 1) There is a new student, Dagbert Endless, whose talent seems to be drowning other people (and making trouble for Charlie); and 2) Asa, whose talent is to change into a beast at dusk, is missing. You may remember that Asa was a former "henchman" of the petty tyrant, Manfred Bloor, and that he recently helped Charlie.

Charlie Bone continues on and on and on
I really have enjoyed this series and found this installment as satisfying as the others. These books are not an insult to my intelligence and imagination, and keep me moving. The plots are interesting and build from one book to the next to keep me wanting more. The characters are well developed and their interactions are interesting and make me want to know them even better.The only thing lacking in this volume, I felt is that it asks too many questions without tying up loose ends. I almost felt like there was too much to wait for for the next installment. I want to feel a little more satified at the end of the book.All in all, it is an excellent book and I recommend it for all children who are about 8 and up and also adults.
