I have never read a book that I have not enjoyed in some way, so I find this question quite difficult to answer. One of my favorite authors is Mary Higgins Clark, but I have so many favorites of her's, such as The Lottery Winner, Weep No More My Lady, The Cradle Will Fall, plus many more. Yet I also have a love for the Harry Potter series, mainly because it is a different style of book from what I tend to read. I don't usually go straight for the books about wizards and sorcerers when I walk into the library. But the book I'm going to tell you about today is a book similar to the Harry Potter books, and it is called Midnight for Charlie Bone.
I love Midnight for Charlie Bone becuase it's a book of many different feelings. There's sadness involved, becuase he lost his father at a very young age and wants to desperately find him. There's evil involving all of his aunts, his father's sisters, who all have magical powers that are used agaist him. Then there is love from his mother and grandmother, who are always caring for him and trying to keep the evil of his aunts away from him. There is also enchantment since Charlie is a wizard and ends up going to a school that contains other's with similar powers. Last but not least there is mystery, in the first book Charlie has a quite vivid image of his father being alive, yet we never find out what happened and if his aunts had anything to do with it.
This is also a book about friendship, Charlie had only one good friend with a big dog before he went to the unique school. After he went he met around five really good friends who were always willing to help him. Some of his friends could change the weather and make a giant storm which I thought was amazing. The types of powers, even if they were just musical talent, that the author came up with were very unique and creative.
I have a very vivid immagination, and when a book sparks my immagination I enjoy it very much. This book definitely did that, that is why it is on my top for my favorite books!
