Recommendation: Teens/Kids

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the first out of seven books in the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling. In this novel, an 11-year-old orphaned boy, Harry Potter, discovers his parents are powerful wizards, and eventually possesses magical powers of his own. After his parent’s death, Harry goes to live with his aunt Petunia and uncle Vernon. From the beginning of the novel, it is obvious that the Dursley family does not enjoy his company. Harry later receives several letters informing him that he has been accepted to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Furthermore, he finds that his parents were both powerful wizards who were killed by a Dark Lord, Voldemort. Later, when Harry arrives at the school, he meets friends such as Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. On the other hand, Harry begins to have conflict with a fellow student Draco Malfoy and a professor, Severus Snape. Harry and his friends discover what the Sorcerer’s Stone is, and it is said to provide immortality. After several suspicions and conclusions, Harry and his friends go on an adventure to prevent anyone from stealing the Sorcerer’s Stone.

I would highly recommend not only reading this book, but this whole series! Every moment is engaging and packed with action. The Harry Potter series truly transports you to a whole new wizarding world. Every book keeps you wondering what happens next, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Regardless of whatever genre you prefer, I believe this book has something to offer for everyone!
