Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by Jk Rowling
In case you don't remember, Harry Potter is an eleven year old wizard. Long ago, Harry's parents were killed in a battle with the evil Lord Voldemort. When we first meet Harry, he is living miserably with his repulsive and non-magical (or Muggle) Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon and their even more revolting son Dudley. Following a bizarre but hilarious chain of events, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, with an outrageous cast of characters, including super-smart Hermione, vile Draco Malfoy, sinister Professor Snape and the wise Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Adventures galore ensue...
'Funny, imaginative, magical Rowling has woken up a whole generation to reading' The Times 'Has all the makings of a classic Rowling uses classic narrative devices with flair and originality and delivers a complex and demanding plot in the form of a hugely entertaining thriller' Scotsman 'A richly textured first novel given lift-off by an inventive wit' Guardian 'And you thought wizardry was for childrenHarry Potter will make you think again. He casts his spells on grown-ups too' James Naughtie
