In this funny, exciting mystery, join Charlie, who is blind and who has extraordinary senses of perception, along with his fiery best friend Bernadette, and their extremely talkative new friend Lewis. On their first day of school, Charlie’s dad is mistaken for the notorious Stocking Bandit and is arrested. Charlie, Bernadette and Lewis must race to solve the mystery and find the real bandit before Charlie’s dad is convicted. Full of humour and magic, From Charlie’s Point of View provides wonderful insight into being a blind student in today’s school system, and takes the reader along through an exciting adventure.

That Charlie is one cool cat. I would have loved to have a Charlie in my life growing up... he is his own person and doesn't get bothered or influenced by others. He's just the kind of friend you need to keep life in perspective as you go through the sometimes-tumultuous adolescent years!

Anybody have a Charlie in their lives?
