Harry Potter: Book 3: The Prisoner of Azkaban

            Harry Potter: Book 3: The Prisoner of Azkaban, by J.K. Rowling, is an excellent third book to the Harry Potter series.  It adds excitement and secrets to the series, as well as new characters including Harry's favorite defense against the dark arts teacher yet.  Harry must find out who was responsible for a crime long since forgotten to everyone except Harry.  He must learn to fight a new kind of foe.

            Like the other books, J.K. Rowling introduces a new element, like a spell or an enchanted object, somewhere in each book.  Harry must either use this new element or fight against it, in some books even both.  The Harry Potter series is amazing.  I really enjoy it and, if you haven't read the series, I hope you will too.  The books are, in order, The Sorcerer's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkaban, The Goblet of Fire, The Order of the Phoenix, The Half-Blood Prince, and The Deathly Hallows.

Harry Potter: Book 2: The Chamber of Secrets

            Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, by J.K. Rowling, is a book almost everyone has read.  Harry and his friends are going to their second year at Hogwarts, a school where young wizards go to learn magic.  They meet many people, including a strange kid who is obsessed with Harry, Ron's little sister, and the rest of Ron's family.  Strange events are happening at Hogwarts, and a house-elf, Dobby, tries to prevent Harry from going to Hogwarts.  Everyone is blaming Harry for these events and Harry must face his most ridiculous year yet, with strange people and events, and a new teacher that is the strangest of them all.

            Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is an awesome book that you need to read right now.  I mean right now.  Well, after you read this anyway.  Or if you haven't read the first book, The Sorcerer's Stone, but you get my point.  The Chamber of Secrets is amazing. 

Harry Potter: Book 1: The Sorcerer's Stone

              Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, by J.K. Rowling, is an amazing book that almost everyone has read.  I hardly have to say how good it is considering you most likely have read it.  The magical elements in the book let J.K. Rowling use a story structure that not many authors can use.  It also lets her make up new things along the way, like a lot of the spells and subjects.  Like Bertie and Botts every flavored beans, this book has everything in it.
            Harry Potter, the main character, is like Percy Jackson from The Lightning Thief. They both have many things that help them in similar ways, they both lived with people that hated them, and they both went through the Hero's Journey.  I recommend this book to everyone, and I mean everyone.  It is such an amazing book that I don't know what else to say.  Well, there are seven books in the series, The Sorcerer's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkaban, The Goblet of Fire, The Order of the Phoenix, The Half-Blood Prince, and The Deathly Hallows.  They are all amazing books.  At the time this was written, I am in the middle of The Goblet of Fire.

Book 2: George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt

            George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt, by Lucy and Stephan Hawking, is an amazing sequel to George's Secret Key to the Universe.  It follows George and Annie after the Black Hole conundrum.  George is invited to Eric Bellis's, a famous scientist that lives next door, costume party.  When George arrives, as a Martian, Eric announces that he will be moving to Florida.  George hates this.  His best friend will be on the other side of the ocean.  One day, he is invited to Annie's house, and he'll find yet another adventure waiting for him.

            George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt is George's second fun adventure.  Once again, the science underlying the adventure is interesting and true.  It takes George and Annie, and another friend, searching for, well, treasure, on the other side of the galaxy, hence the name.  George will find someone has already gotten there, and if you read George's Secret Key to the Universe, you know whom it is.

Book 1: George's Secret Key to the Universe

            George's Secret Key to the Universe, by Lucy and Steven Hawking, is a book that has a fun filled adventure that's also packed of facts.  It's an amazing book is about a young boy, George, whose parents reject technology, saying that it is destroying our planet, which isn't entirely wrong.  They light their house with candles, don't own any electrical device, and even grow their own food in the garden.  George hates this, he doesn't have any friends, except for his pet pig Freddy that he got for Christmas, and all he wants is a computer.  When Freddy runs off into the abandoned house next door, George finds something, and someone, he'll remember forever.

            I recommend George's Secret Key to the Universe for all people who love outer space and want to know more about it, and those who don't.  It is fun and includes recent ideas about black holes.  It talks about many different planets in the solar system, all without leaving the fun of the story.  It's an amazing book with many elements.  I loved this book and hope you will to.

The Kane Chronicles: Book 2: The Throne of Fire

            The Throne of Fire, by Rick Riordan, is a continuation of siblings Carter and Sadie Kane's adventure.  I think it was even funnier than the last book.  In The Throne of Fire, something unexpected, and most likely hilarious, is around every corner.  Rick Riordan has managed to fit comedy in the most serious situations in the past and he continues to do so.   I recommend this amazing book for people of all ages.
             Rick Riordan is the author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus series.  They are all very humorous and I enjoyed them all.  The books in The Kane Chronicles are called The Red Pyramid, The Throne of Fire, and The Serpent's Shadow.  I have not read The Serpent's Shadow yet.  I am planning to read it after I finish The Mark of Athena, the third book in the Heroes of Olympus series.

The Time Quintet: Book Five: An Acceptable Time

            The Time Quintet:  Book Five:  An Acceptable Time, by Madeleine L'Engle was, by far, the worst book in the Time Quintet Series.  The story was hard to follow, easy to get disinterested, and the main conflict was near the end of the book.  It was mostly page fillers and unimportant events.  I got so bored with the book that I skimmed through most of it.  I can't believe that Madeleine L'Engle wrote An Acceptable Time.
