Product Review
It has won the National Book Award, the Smarties Prize, the Children's Book Award, and is short-listed for the Carnegie Medal, the U.K. version of the Newbery Medal. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1) is a magical, gripping, brilliant book and a future classic that young kids and the kids at heart will surely love!
In the non-magic human world, the world of "Muggles", Harry is a nobody, treated like dirt by the aunt and uncle who begrudgingly inherited him when his parents were killed by the evil Voldemort. But in the world of wizards, small, skinny Harry is famous as a survivor of the wizard who tried to kill him. He is left only with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead, curiously refined sensibilities, and a host of mysterious powers to remind him that he's quite, yes, altogether different from his aunt, uncle, and spoiled, pig-like cousin Dudley. Soon enough, however, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts with his owl Hedwig... and that's where the real adventure of Harry Potter begins. Its humorous, haunting, and suspenseful!
