Book Review by Harry Pepper Sauce - If you like magic, this is a book for you. This book is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which is book 3 of the Harry Potter series. The author is J.K. Rowling. There are a couple of settings but here are a few: the Dursley’s house and Hogwarts. The first problem is that Harry gets a letter and it lands on someone’s head. But the main problem is that Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban (the wizard prison). People think he killed 12 muggles (non-magic people) and 1 wizard but the wizard was an animagus. I give this book 5 stars because on the way to Hogwarts (wizard school) there are spells that I think caused action. And it didn’t take too long to read. It also had interesting spells, curses, hexes, charms, and jinxes. I also liked how it explains how Harry got a godfather, and that Snape steals Harry’s invisibility cloak. I recommend this book to second graders and up. If you’re under 7, have an adult read it to you but it might be scary. It inspired me to beg my parents to buy me books 5, 6, and 7 of the Harry Potter series. And remember read to find out what an animagus is.

It has a great cliffhanger at the end. I loved the griffen that they raised and named him Rufus. The characters are set up really well. They are adventurous, funny, loyal. You should read Tuesdays in the Castle first. It good series.

This book is interesting. It is interesting because of how it ends. I won't tell you how it ends, because then I would spoil the book, but let's just say that D.J. (the main character who is not really good at anything except being a good friend) learns that not everything will be the way you want it to, even after you achieve your goal. Also, I really liked this book even though it is a graphic novel and I usually prefer regular books because the action was sort of spread out through the book. You should like this book if you like graphic novels, but if you read the other books for humor then you probably won't like this very much because this book is more serious. Also, this book is WAY more intense than the other ones, so I would not suggest it to the average 1st grader, even though they might be able to read it because of all the pictures.

This is when Annie and Jack go to China to get something that will give Merlin hope. They go to China and find a panda center. They help the center and took care for a panda. Suddenly, there is a earthquake. The pandas' get hurt and the big panda they cared for went missing along with three panda cubs. After they make sure the workers are okay, they find the thing that matches the riddle. It was a panda bread. It is cooked with love and hard as a rock. I loved this book because it is full of excitement and lots of adventures. It also teaches us lessons of hope and caring for others in danger, even if the condition is awful. I really enjoed this book.

Okay, I got to be honest, when I first got this book, I didn't think it would be worth the read, but the author showed me that you have to try something to see if you will like it. I need up really liking this book. It is so sweet and I recommend it for ages 8-12.

Strange things are occuring at Dunwiddle Magic School, and the Upside-down Magic class was getting blamed for the mishaps! Marigold did shrink Lacey into the size of a gerbil, and Nory did sometimes turn into a squippy ( half squid, half puppy), but, they were all accidents! Many students blamed Bax, an upside-down fluxer that could flux into a rock, was responsible for turning the pennies for the school charity into rocks, and for turning people's notebooks and pencils into stone! Can the Upside-down Magic class find the cause of the choas before Lacey's petition for the class to be removed works?
