This book is about a boy named Charlie who is "endowed", which means he has a very special talent. When Charlie goes back to school, he meets a very strange boy named Henry Yewbeam. What Charlie later finds out is that Henry is related to him. Henry has been sent to the future by this marble called the "Time Twister". When Henry was in the right time with his brother James, Henry was playing marbles by himself . Henry's mean and horrible cousin, who doesn't like him, throws the Time Twister near him. Not knowing what it is, Henry picks up the marble, looks at it and is whisked into another time. Since Charlie Bone and Henry Yewbeam are related, Charlie tries to help him return to his normal time. With great trouble and a lot of accidents and with the help of his friends, Charlie is determined to help Henry. There is only one problem. Henry's cousin is trying to get rid of him. Will Charlie and his friends save Henry? Does Henry die? Does Henry have get to see his brother again? To tell you the truth, I'm not telling you so Ha. No, what I'm saying is read the book. I'm telling you this is a great book for kids 10 and older.
