Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6) (Hardcover) by J.K. Rowling, Mary GrandPré (Illustrator)
Reading level: Ages 9-12

The long-awaited, eagerly anticipated, arguably over-hyped Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has arrived, and the question on the minds of kids, adults, fans, and skeptics alike is, "Is it worth the hype?" The answer, luckily, is simple: yep. A magnificent spectacle more than worth the price of admission, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will blow you away. However, given that so much has gone into protecting the secrets of the book (including armored trucks and injunctions), don't expect any spoilers in this review. It's much more fun not knowing what's coming--and in the case of Rowling's delicious sixth book, you don't want to know. Just sit tight, despite the earth-shattering revelations that will have your head in your hands as you hope the words will rearrange themselves into a different story. But take one warning to heart: do not open Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince until you have first found a secluded spot, safe from curious eyes, where you can tuck in for a good long read. Because once you start, you won't stop until you reach the very last page.

The Chronicles of Narnia Boxed Set [BOX SET] (Paperback) by C.S. Lewis, Pauline Baynes (Illustrator)
Reading level: Ages 9-12

The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis, is one of the very few sets of books that should be read three times: in childhood, early adulthood, and late in life. In brief, four children travel repeatedly to a world in which they are far more than mere children and everything is far more than it seems. Richly told, populated with fascinating characters, perfectly realized in detail of world and pacing of plot, and profoundly allegorical, the story is infused throughout with the timeless issues of good and evil, faith and hope. This boxed set edition includes all seven volumes.

J. K. Rowling(Joanne Kathleen Rowling) was born on July 31st, 1965 in Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire, England. She can remember telling stories from early on and wrote down her first story when she was 5 or 6 years old. It was about a rabbit so she called her story simply 'Rabbit.' Rabbit got the measles and was visited by friends including a giant bee called 'Miss Bee.'

As a child she moved to Winterbourne -close to Bristol. In Winterbourne she was friends with a brother and sister whose surname was Potter. She says she always liked the name, and preferred it to her own because the children always made annoying jokes about rolling pins!
