Book Review By Arnav Agarwal
From Charlie's Point Of View by Richard Scrimger

Charlie is a blind teenager. He is lucky to have a friend like Bernadette beside him to lead him through his life. Now Charlie and Bernadette are changing schools, and are going into middle school. On the way to school, Bernadette spots a man in black running from the bank. She takes it to be her imagination, but does have a feeling that it is the legendary Stocking Bandit, who has been famous this year for all his bank robberies.

In a sudden turn of events, Charlie loses his father to the police and law, as his father becomes a major suspect for the Stocking Bandit. All evidence available points to Charlie's father; the stocking, the axe under the taxi seat, catching the taxi driver at the cemetry after he supposedly was dropped off there, and having the same height and figure, and clothing as the true Stocking Bandit.

Now it is up to Charlie, Bernadette and their friend, Lewis, to fight and save Charlie's father, and find the Real Stocking Bandit. Can they do it? Who is the Stocking Bandit? Read the book and find out!
