Blog Review # 7: Science Fiction "Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone"

J. K. Rowlings. Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone. New York: A. A. Levine Books, 1998




















Genre: Science Fiction/ Fantasy

Annotation:   Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a science fiction story about an eleven year old boy who was living a miserable life at his aunt and uncle's home. He gains admission into the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and while there, he makes some new friends. Harry gets transported later into the supernatural world with the help of the school keeper, Hagrid. While there, he goes on a quest that results in an awesome adventure experience.

Nomination Justification: I nominate this book for all young readers because it is full of fun characters and creatures. The story line will also appeal to teens because of the adventure/quest themes. Teenagers go through stress daily either in academics, social or personal life and reading a good science fiction /fantasy book can help them to release some of that stress. They like to be transported or immeresed in a world where they can experiment with magic and find some answers about nature or the superntural. This book would surely give them all the excitement that they so much crave.
