Charlie Bone and the Hidden King
Charlie FINALLY has the answer to, and resolves, you-know-what, in this, the fifth book in the series.

Midnight For Charlie Bone
First in the Children Of The Red King series. Charlie is sent off to the mostly awful Bloor Academy and restores a girl who is memory is clouded. I feel like shouting, "Charlie, the quiet and confused piano teacher is probably your missing father!!!" Charlie hasn't figured it out by the end of book one, maybe he will get a clue, in book two. Hey, it rhymes!
