                   Charlie Bone is just an ordinary boy, a normal boy with dreams and wishes. With hopes to complete stuff we would too. One day Charlie discovers he wasn't really who he thought he was. He was different, but not in the way we would call "normal". Not quite as he expected either. He started listening; he started listening very carefully, until he figured where the sound came from. The pictures on his wall, and the ones hung upon the great shelves, even the ones in the albums, tucked carefully and thoughtfully in a cupboard. From that moment on, his life was turned up-side-down, which changes Charlie's perspective on everything. To the suspicious side.
                 
                    The characters in the book I am reading are not described by visual appearance. Other than that, Charlie is a very suspicious boy, he wants to know everything about his crazy family and descendants. An explanation of Charlie's way of feeling is this example on page 31. This is the conversation of Charlie and his mom.

' "First, I want to know what really happened to my father," Charlie said. "Tell me again."
"I've told you so many times already, Charlie. It was foggy, he was tired. He drove off the road and the car plunged into a quarry, it was a hundred metres deep."
" And why aren't there any photos of him around? Not one."

                            Later in this chapter Charlie discovers his grandmother wants to keep his father's photos away from Charlie because of her guess he would have the power he had gotten. (hearing pictures.)
