Harry Potter Books by J.K. Rowling

 

Hello fellow readers! I have just finished reading the whole of J.K Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ series and I am now completely in awe of Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, Hagrid and anything wizard or witch-like!

If you haven’t heard of Harry Potter it starts of with a young eleven year old boy named Harry. From the beginning it is easy to see that  he’s had a very difficult, frustrating life as his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon are not the best replacement parents. Not forgetting his spoiled, bratty cousin who likes to think of Harry as a punching bag.

Harry has always felt different from the people around him; strange things happen to ,him, like a snake talking back to him. And when a huge man as large as a giant discovers him and tells Harry he is a famous wizard,  Harry willingly is lead into a whole new world, wilder the he could imagine!

Think epic a journey filled with spine-chilling, mischievous fun that can throttle your brain and make your mind work!

I would recommend the first to third books for 9 plus, but as you go through the series the books can get quite confusing and dark. These books are for both genders and not at all for a certain age group as I think everybody would enjoy them.

I would rate these books 100000 out of 10 because I loved them so much! The movies are a roller coaster of entertainment and J.K Rowling’s other two books (Quidditch through the ages & Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) are amazing reads as well.

To get more Wizardry fun visit Pottermore  and J.K Rowling’s website.

Secrets of a Sun King by Emma Carroll

 

Secrets of a Sun King is an action packed novel based some time ago in England when there was a great deal of poverty.  Lilian Kaye is an intelligent young girl, who although she is poor attends a posh school, where she has is unmistakably unhappy.

She has no friends and only enemies. Her relationship with her Grandfather is really important to her, so when he becomes sick and has to go to hospital her life is in turmoil.

 

One day her grandfather receives a parcel containing a mysterious Egyptian package. The contents of the package are a mystery which Lily is determined to unravel, even though it contains  the secrets of a pharaoh and his cursed death. Will Lily and her friends save her grandfather’s mysterious curse?

 

I would 100% recommend this book to confident readers, especially if you enjoy adventure books or realistic fiction. Some parts are a bit gruesome so if you are squeamish I would suggest you stay clear.

 

Emma Carroll’s website is packed with information  about her other wonderful books, including one of my favourites, Letters from the Lighthouse.
