I needed some new children's lit since I raced through Harry Potter this summer. I didn't particular enjoy the last book because it was like eating a REALLY good large pizza all by yourself in about 5 minutes. It went by so fast I hardly had time to absorb the details.
So any way, I stumbled upon the Charlie Bone series. Like Harry he does possess a magical gift, he can look at photographs and talk to people in side of them. He lives in his evil paternal grandmother house with his mom and maternal grandmother. And once his gift materializes, he finds he must attend a special school that deals with children with these gifts (again like Harry). But that's about all the parallels.
The picture is of book 5 (out of 6) that I am currently reading. It's a pretty good book series and well written. And MUCH short then Harry Potter.
