The first book on a magical journey. The Harry Potter series and the wizarding world developed within it is unparalleled in modern literature. (0 more)

A classic but written for a younger audience than the later books

I love Harry Potter. I got this book at the age of 7 and it definitely changed my life. This is a wonderful childrens story and accessible to a younger audience. This book is set before the series gets too dark so I would recommend it for all ages. However the characters are a bit one dimensional at times compared to the later books.

Book Favorite

"This is a tiny book with a huge heart, about a man—Captain Kidd—who in 1870 is hired to transport a young girl across Texas and return her to her relatives, after she is released by the Kiowa, who had abducted her several years earlier during a raid on a white settlement. The girl at this point has little grasp of English, let alone the ways of the white world, and this makes for a narrative that is in turns funny, moving, and tense, as the two set off on a three-week journey fraught with deepening peril."
