On the coldest night in memory, in 1916, Henry Yewbeam's jealous cousin Ezekiel Bloor tricks him into looking into the Time Twister, a beautiful marble full of shining colours that draws him into the future without ageing him. When he emerges, in the present day at Bloor's Academy, he meets Charlie Bone, his great-great-nephew, and who sets out to help him. The second book of the Children of the Red King, published in the United States as Charlie Bone and the Time Twister.
