Review by Maylie N.
Who would like this book? I think that all ages 7 and up will love this book! Girls and boys alike will enjoy the action-packed, original, suspenseful, and magical theme of the story. The plot is easy to follow and will keep the reader zooming across the page! There is never a dull moment. A small warning: Adults with limited imagination and a dislike of other realities might not find this book as appealing.
The goods on this book: Harry Potter, a young boy, doesn’t have a great life. He lives in a cupboard under the stairs in his house, and is treated poorly by his adoptive parents and younger brother, who have a strong distaste for him and his parents. He thinks his life will never change until he gets an invitation to Hogwarts, a wizarding school, where he will discover magic, broomstick riding, a strange sport called Quidditch, new friends, and fame that he never knew he had. But not everything is perfect at his new school. Harry, with friends by his side, will unfold forbidden secrets, trolls, danger, mysteries, and evil people. Join Harry through this exciting start to the popular series, where you will marvel at the amazing writing and wish for yourself that you could get an envelope marked with an “H” inviting you to Hogwarts.
The details: 312 pages; 1997 Review by Maylie N.
