You have 14 days to read as many chapter books as possible before the end of the year on May 31st. Here are the rules:
1. You must read each chapter book all the way to the end.
2. When you finish each chapter book you must comment on this post and give a brief summary and write a recommendation. Below is an example of what the comment must look like:
Name: Mrs. Greason
Book Title: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Author: J.K. Rowling
Summary: This book starts with Sirius Black escaping from Azkaban. The soul-sucking Death Eaters are on his trail and they end up at Azkaban protecting the grounds and causing trouble for Harry and his friends. Harry discovers some powers he never knew he had and by the end of the novel a very unlikely character is now his family member.
Recommendation: I liked how in this book the trio, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, were able to leave Hogwarts and explore Hogsmeade. It was cool to see what the three experienced in a different setting. The Maurder's Map was pretty cool too because when Sirius Black transformed into Padfoot you were able to tell he was on the grounds. A lot of secrets were discovered in this book.
Who's up for the challenge? Get reading!

Kylie - Your recommendation could have been better if you had included an example of the action. I also wish you had written a more detailed summary. What was the theme of the novel? It seems that you are missing many important details from your summary. Keep working on it. - Mrs. G
