by: J.K. Rowling
reviewed by: Chase Hoffman
317 pages

For twelve long years, the dark and forbidding fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort. A evil and cunning man he was it was always said he would escape. Now their worst fears have come true, he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. and the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts... he's at Hogwarts." Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may be a traitor in their midst. With a new threat on the loose Harry and his pals must once again save Hogwarts, but also save themselves.

I would recommend this book to 6th graders all the way up to adults. It's a fun mix of magic and mystery that will always keep you guessing about what's coming around the next turn.
