This special edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone has a gorgeous new cover illustration by Kazu Kibuishi. Inside is the full text of the original novel, with decorations by Mary GrandPré.

Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility.

All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley — a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry’s room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn’t had a birthday party in eleven years.

But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry — and anyone who reads about him — will find unforgettable.

For it’s there that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that’s been waiting for him… if Harry can survive the encounter.

It's about this boy named, Harry Potter. Who goes to Hogwarts, a wizarding witch craft school. He soon find out he is a wizard, and has face Lord Voldemort. Who left a mysteriously scar on Harry's forehead. Can Potter make friends and find out who this 'Voldemort" guy is?

Definitely for ages 8+. A real page turner. Magnificent writing! If you read this you must also read all of the other books, which are just as awesome! Very captivating and thought-provoking.
