The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Standard Edition (Harry Potter)
By J. K. Rowling
This is the greatest book ever for Harry Potter fans. The one that I would not recommend reading is the Warlock's Hairy Heart, because there's a lot of gross things in there. My sister read this before me, and she liked it too. Her and I are MAJOR Harry Potter fans. We once watched all the movies on T.V., but the last two, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows I and II, were blocked. At the beginning, I never really liked Harry Potter, until my sister came back from Universal Studios with a whole lot of Harry Potter fan gear. She got a wand and candy from Honeyduke's(which included the chocolate frogs and Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans).
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
undefined
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth book in J.K. Rowling’s enormously popular Harry Potter series. Accordingly, it chronicles Harry’s fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and his ongoing struggle against the evil wizard Voldemort. The story opens over summer vacation. Harry Potter has spent the whole summer at his Aunt Petunia’s house listening to the news, seeking signs of an attack. One evening, taunting his cousin Dudley with the threat of using magic on him, they are attacked by Dementors. Harry uses magic to fight them off, landing Harry in deep trouble with the Ministry of Magic; he is threatened with expulsion from Hogwarts. At a hearing at the Ministry of Magic, however, Harry is allowed to remain in school. Harry is met by a group of wizards led by Mad-Eye Moody, Professor Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, and Kingsley Shacklebolt and taken to Sirius Black’s childhood home. Harry’s friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley are there. They explain to Harry that the house is the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, a secret organization of wizards dedicated to battling Voldemort and his Death Eaters. The Order has learned that Voldemort is seeking an object, possibly a weapon. Fearing the panic the knowledge would cause, the Ministry of Magic, led by Cornelius Fudge, refuses to admit that Voldemort has returned, and thus are doing nothing to combat him. At school, Harry meets the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Dolores Umbridge. The Daily Prophet newspaper is still printing lies about him, but Harry decides to keep his head down and concentrate on his studies. Umbridge refuses to teach any actual defense spells, claiming they are unnecessary, and she and Harry clash. When Umbridge is named High Inquisitor, giving her the authority to evaluate all faculty members and allowing her to monitor all communication in and out of the school, Harry, Hermione, and Ron form their own Defense Against the Dark Arts group, calling themselves Dumbledore’s Army after the school’s headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. Dozens of other students join them to train in defensive spells. Harry has a recurring dream that he is walking down a hallway in the Ministry of Magic and enters a room filled with glass spheres. He also has a dream where he is a snake attacking Ron’s father. When he wakes up, he is taken to Dumbledore. Members of the Order of the Phoenix race to Mr. Weasley, rescuing him. Harry is told that Voldemort has been invading his mind; Dumbledore orders Occlumency lessons so Harry can learn to resist these attacks. Harry has difficulty with this new training, however, and his lightning-bolt scar pulses painfully every time Voldemort feels extreme emotion. Umbridge discovers Dumbledore’s Army. Dumbledore takes responsibility in order to save the children from expulsion, leaving the castle. Umbridge is named headmistress. As the students are finishing up their O.W.L. examinations, Harry has another dream. This time, he sees his godfather, Sirius Black, being tortured. Hermione is concerned that Voldemort is using these dreams to lure Harry into a trap, but Harry is determined to save Sirius. Harry sneaks into Umbridge’s office to use her fireplace to communicate with those in Sirius Black’s house. Creature the house elf tells him that Sirius is at the Ministry of Magic. Harry and his friends are caught by Umbridge. They trick her, telling her they are hiding a weapon in the forest for Dumbledore. She accompanies them into the forest where they are stopped by centaurs. Umbridge insults the centaurs with racial slurs. Outraged, they carry her off. Harry, Hermione, Ron and their friends Ginny Weasley (Ron’s sister), Luna Lovegood, and Neville Longbottom mount thestrals and fly to the Ministry of Magic. At the Ministry, Sirius is nowhere to be found. Harry locates the room he has been dreaming of and finds that one of the glass spheres has his name and Voldemort’s on it. The Death Eaters attack. Harry and his friends have some initial success defending themselves, surprising the Death Eaters with their skills, but begin to lose ground until members of the Order of the Phoenix arrive, turning the tide. During the battle, Harry passes this sphere to Neville, whose pocket rips, causing the glass sphere to shatter. Sirius Black is killed by his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange. Dumbledore arrives, rounding up and binding the Death Eaters. Harry chases after Bellatrix. Voldemort arrives. As he is attacking Harry, Dumbledore comes to Harry’s rescue, dueling with Voldemort. Voldemort and Bellatrix escape. Back at Hogwarts, Dumbledore explains to Harry that the sphere was a prophecy telling of a power Harry possesses unknown to Voldemort: Love. The prophecy states that Harry will either kill Voldemort or be killed by him—“neither can live while the other survives.” Dumbledore explains that this is why Harry must spend his summers with his Aunt Petunia—his mother’s love protects him, and he must maintain the blood link to that love by living in his aunt’s house. Knowing the summer will be miserable, Harry accepts his fate and returns to his aunt’s house where he will spend another summer listening to the news and waiting for something terrible to happen. This was very long, but I loved it!

Mary Poppins Opens the Door
By P. L. Travers
The seven members of the Banks family all live in Number 17 at Cherry Tree Lane. Their neighbors include Admiral Boom, who lives in a house shaped like a ship, and Miss Lark, who has two dogs named Andrew and Willoughby. Caring for five kids takes a lot of effort, so Mr. and Mrs.Banks get a nanny named Mary Poppins. That was in the first book. Now, it's the third book, and it's the second time Mary Poppins has come back. This time, Jane, the oldest child in the family, and Michael, the second oldest, are going to the park so they can set off rockets in celebration of Guy Fawkes Day, a holiday celebrated in England. When Jane and Michael light their rocket, it shoots into the sky, but instead of exploding, it gives off just one spark. As the spark floats down to the ground, Jane and Michael can see that it's not a spark, it's Mary Poppins! All the children have many exciting adventures. In my opinion, this book was a little too similar to the other books in the Mary Poppins series, but it's really good,
Supergifted
By Gordon Korman
In a world where there are superheroes there is one super hero that is not so super but he does have a friend that is SUPERGIFTED. There's this kid named Dovan and his friend Noah and their best friends. The story takes place at a school and house and friends houses and gifted school. Dovan is not that smart but Noah he is the smartest kid in the state but then something bad happens. A propane truck goes for a house but Dovan runs to the propane truck and he jumps into the truck and makes it go into a pool of a popular cheerleader that goes to Dovans school. Then the next few days everyone in town knows what happened but they didn’t know who saved the cheerleader. Everyone is calling this mystery kid SUPER KID. Dovan did not want to be the SUPER KID so Noah took his place but Noah is not the super kid so Noah has to lie and lie and lie but he knows what happened because he was there when Dovan went into the truck So are they going to be able to lie so Dovan does not get caught or does he. This book was fun to read and it has a lot of shocking moments and the book is not as long. Plus there are a lot of main characters so that's cool. The age for this book should be about 11, 12, 13 I think that would be a good age to read this book. If I was going to recommend this book to someone I would recommend it to a person who likes shocking moments, a lot of main characters, someone who likes the books about lying and not trying to get caught. This book is a sequel to UNGIFTED! I love this book!
Ham Helsing #2: Monster Hunter
By Moyer, Rich
This is a really cute series with entertaining graphics and with good messages about friendship and about choosing to do the right thing even if it's not what other people say is "your destiny". Ultimately, each individual is in charge of figuring out what his or her own destiny is. In this one, Ham Helsing and his crew end up at a summer camp where the counselors have disappeared and a monster lurks in the waters. I am not normally a graphics novel reader, so there were moments when I just wasn't quite sure what was happening in the story and it felt kind of jumpy/frenetic to me because it seemed that a panel came out of nowhere. Those who regularly read graphic novels may not have that same experience. That said, I enjoyed the story and the graphics and I think Ham Helsing is the cutest. I'm so glad this story came across my radar, which motivated me to find and read the first book before reading this one. While one could technically read these out of order, it helps to know who the characters are, so I'd say read it in the right order to get the full effect.
A Corner Of The Universe (Newbery Honor Book)
By Ann M. Martin
This book is so sad! It had a huge impact on my life. The night I finished it I was crying my eyes out. Hattie is a regular 12 year old girl, and her life has always been predictable. Then an uncle that she never even knew she had, is supposed to be staying in town for a while. His name is Adam. And one other thing; he's mentally ill. She's never met someone like him before, but she loves him from the start. He quotes I Love Lucy, he watches Ferris Wheels, and he talks to Hattie. He is an amazing person, and I have a new view on the world. This book was all I could think about for days! Everyone should read this book unless they can't handle too much sadness. This book is amazing.
