__Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone__ by: J.K. Rowling

This book is magical. Harry Potter finds out that he is a wizard and will luckily go to a school named Hogarts. Hogwarts is a school of witchcraft and wizardry. Wizards and witches go to this school to learn about magic, the wizard world, and the proper use of magic. Hermione Granger, one of the characters, has the brain equivalent to a hundred brains. Hermione is also a witch born from a muggle. People make fun of he by saying she is a "mudblood". Ronald Weasly on the other hand needs more practice on spells and is not a muggle born wizard, he is a "pureblood". Harry Potter is a great wizard like Hermione, but still need s to practice his spells. Harry is a "halfblood". His mom was a muggle born and is father was a pureblood.

In my opinion of this mystery book is funny and scary. One of my favorite parts in the book is when Ronald and Harry have to save Hermione from a troll in the girls bathroom! Ronald and Harry were for the most part tossed around like a toy. In the end they get out of the girls bathroom safely and go back up to their room.

I would recommend this book to someone who likes surprises, and mystery books. I think people 9 and up would really enjoy this book.

__Isabel of the Whales__ by: Hester Velmans

This wonderful, romantic and action story is about a girl named Isabel living in Provincetown, Massachusetts who is destined to accomplish something special, and she does. When her fifth grade class goes on a whale-watch, the boat gets surrounded by whales and one of the whales rams into the boat and sends Isabel flying and crashing into the sea. When Isabel tries yelling for help her voice is drowned by a whales yell. She tried yelling for help over and over but still it's covered by a whales voice. She soon hears someone whisper to her. Isabel is confused for some time but finds out she is a whale! At first Isabel is not fond of this change but then starts to enjoy it. Isabel became a whale because she was to live among them to teach them how to escape from humans who tried hunting them and to learn about whales so humans understood them more. To learn how Isabel does it all read __Isabel of the Whales!__

In my opinion, this book contains a lot of feelings that make you feel and understand how the characters feel. How I felt about Isabel is she can be a brave and bold spirit while being scared and nervous at the same time. Like at one point in the story, her life and two other whales lives were very close to ending but instead of trying to get away from the danger, she went the other direction to save the other whales. Isabel was scared but brave and that is why she is my favorite character. While Isabel was a whale she made some good friends like, Blossamer, 3 calves named Mistenbel, Tomturan, and Delight. Some adults were Onijonah, Momboduno and a rather special male named Jessaloup. But soon Isabel becomes attached to her underwater family and being caught between two worlds becomes much more complicated and BIG destions have to be made. Which family is going to keep Isabel?

This book is worth reading. When you get into the book, you can't put it down! You will enjoy this book if you love action, laughter, and heart full seances. __Isabel of the whales__ is a book you will never forget because it has great vocabulary, and phenomenal descriptive words.If your interested, try to get a copy of the book at your local library, or on the internet.
