Rowling Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (1999) Book ~ J. K. Rowling From the Publisher Harry Potter is living a miserable existence with his nasty relatives, the dastardly Dursleys and their son Dudley -- who are quite unaware that he is not a Muggle (a human), and that he is in fact, destined for greatness. One day, owls begin to appear in the sky, peculiar people in cloaks loom in the shadows and before you can say "Alohomora," Harry Potter is whisked away by a scruffy giant named Hagrid to train for his new life as a wizard. You see, Harry Potter survived the attack by the evil wizard Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents. In the wizard world, that makes Harry Potter an exalted figure. Now it is time for Harry Potter to attend the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he discovers that he has very special powers. Will Harry be strong enough to win the game of Quidditch and brave enough to unlock the secret hiding in the trapdoor? Comparisons to Roald Dahl have been made; though Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone may well be a superior read. This is a complex and sophisticated novel, with a truly surprise ending.

Someone learns to read Reviewer: Erica from New Brunswick (gorgeoushoney17@hotmail.com) Date: 3/23/2001 11:00:28 AM My younger sister struggled with reading. She was failng Language Arts and other subjects because she had a hard time reading. Her teacher suggested that she read this book and her reading might improve. She needed a book that was interesting, but was a challenge too. She couldn't put this book down. She loved it and forced herself to read so she could find out what happened. Now she's going read the whole Harry Potter Series. My whole family is very proud of her. Read all of the reviews...
