We're getting repetitive here. This time, instead of rescuing a girl from amnesia, Charlie et al. rescue an invisible boy. This series is precisely how series get a bad name: same plot, same story arc, rather thinly-drawn characters. The latter is really the biggest problem; they aren't exactly fully-fleshed out to start with, and they are getting positively see-through.
That this story involves an invisible boy, then, is rather ironic. He was made invisible a misunderstood and slightly be-feathered snake. Charlie is also trying to solve the disappearance and illness of Uncle Smedley...er, no sorry...of Uncle Paton, and return a medieval sorcerer he accidentally loosed from a painting.
I won't be reading anymore of these, no matter if Sparky insists. I just can't.
