About Midnight for Charlie Bone

Charlie Bone is an ordinary boy until he became endowed. People who are endowed are descended from the Red King, a king full of magic, and had ten children. So when Charlie was discovered endowed, he was sent to Bloors Academy, which, in my opinion is miserable. As Charlie heads off to Bloors, he senses a mystery waiting for him. A mystery that involved a young girl who was hypnotized for 10 years, and an aunt that that had been looking for her ever since. How does Charlie solve the mystery? That's what you have to find out.
