This semester at Bloor's Academy brings a few changes. There is a new art teacher, Mr. Boldova, and a new student named Belle, who lives with the Yewbeam aunts and seems to have strange power over them. Emma and Charlie soon discover Mr. Boldova's secret identity: He is the older brother of Ollie Sparks, the boy who lives in the attic of Bloor's Academy. Ollie had always been prying into matters that didn't concern him, so Ezekiel Bloor had made him invisible. When Charlie and his friends find him, Ollie is alone and hungry, so they promise to help him become visible again.
How can Charlie cope? Between his nasty grandmother and great-aunts, his deathly ill great-uncle, and the invisible boy living on jam in the attics of Bloor's Academy he hardly knows whether he's coming or going. Charlie wants to solve so many problems, but he gets snagged by a tricky sorcerer and an ancient shape-shifter posing as a pretty girl at school. With persistence, plucky friends, and some supernatural help, Charlie gets things worked out in the end. Simon Russell Beale keeps this good-hearted fantasy going with a smooth delivery, subtle vocalizations, and high energy. Poor Charlie has fallen under the shadow of Harry Potter, but here he comes into his own with help from Beale. J.M.S. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
