I recently read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling. It is Harry's third year at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and he seems to have a bit of a problem. You see, there is a killer on the loose. His name is Sirius Black. He is the first person to ever escape from Azkaban, the wizard prison, and according to the Ministry of Magic, he only escaped for one reason: to kill Harry. People say that Sirius Black was a big supporter of Lord Voldemort before his downfall. It is said that Sirius is the one that told Voldemort where to find Lily and James Potter, Harry's parents. So as the year goes on, people get more and more scared that Sirius Black will break into the school. And he does. More than once.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione encounter many other problems as well, such as a hippogriff that is sentenced to death for nothing, Draco Malfoy's ever annoying presence, and a new teacher that suspiciously misses school once a month. Not to mention the dementors at every entrance to the grounds. Dementors are the guards of Azkaban. They are not human. They are creatures that feed off of other people's sadness, and have the power of sucking out one's soul.
As the book goes on, Harry learns more about Sirius Black and how he knew him. He finds out that Sirius was his father's best friend, and Harry's godfather. If he was his best friend, why would he sell them out to Voldemort? Or did he? To find out more, you will just have to read it!
I would recommend this book to everyone. It covers almost every kind of genre and is just a great book and series.
