  Example of text
Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets BY J.K Rowling
The book takes place in modern times, in England. The main character is Harry Potter. Harry Potter is a wizard. He goes to school for witches and wizards, called Hogwarts.
It is Harry’s second years a Hogwarts and his two best friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley are having a great time learning magic. There is a new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart who all the witches are crazy about. Professor Lockhart keeps napping Harry, because the professor thinks that Harry tries to get attention to be famous! While all the witches at school love new professor, all of the wizards think that he is a big joke.
After a month of school at Hogwarts, strange attacks begin to happen. First, the caretaker’s cat, Mrs. Norris, has been found, not died, but petrified not only was Filch’s cat attacked, but some of the Muggle-born students at Hogwarts have been found petrified, also. Naturally, all of the students are frightened at this, but they become even more scared when the next victim to be found petrified is Gryffindor ghost, Nearly Headless Nick.
What kind of monster is powerful enough to kill someone who is already dead? Who will be the next victim of the monster at Hogwart? Will the victims ever be revived? To find out you must read Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets! I have to say that the story was bright, fast paced, intriguing, and ultimately satisfying.
I like this book because it kept me wanting to read the next page, and the next, and so on.  The book is definitely a page turner. I recommend this book to nine years old and over.
