Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
by J.K Rowling
J.K. Rowling’s masterpiece goes above and beyond traditional fantasy stories. In this enchanting tale, a young orphan learns he is a wizard, and is sent to a magical school where he meets new friends, excitement and danger along the way. Not only does Rowling create incredibly memorable characters, she is also able to portray a living, breathing world that children for generations to come will grow up enjoying. It’s a must-read for any child who wishes to find wonder.
