Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

This book is my favorite of all times. I love J.K. Rowling! The book is about Harry Potter going back to school for his 4th year. Before he goes, he goes to the Quidditch Cup with his friends, Hermione, Ron and the Weasleys. He wants to find out about the misterious event that suppose to take place at Hogwarts this year. Other schools are coming for this event.

I recommend you should read this books if you haven't. I recommended for ages 8-14.

The Witches

I read this book about 3 times, and it is also one of my favorite books. The witches is about a boy with his grandma going to a hotel. The boy discovers the Grand High Witch and her followers. The boy and a boy name Bruno get turn into mouses.

I also seen the movie,which I recommended for 9-13 years old because some parts of the movie are a little bit scary.

I recommend the book for 7-10 years old.

The Fire Within

This fantasy story tells about a boy named David. When he moves in with Liz and her eleven years old daughter, Lucy. He discovers a collections of clay dragons that come to live. David's own special dragon inspired him to write a story which reveals the secrets behind a mistery. In order for him to solve the mystery and save his dragon, he must master the magic of the fire within not only with his hands but also with his heart.

This book just inspired me to write a book. Whoever likes squirrels and dragons would like the characters in this story. The Fire Within is one of my favorite books. I recommend it for ages 8-12, whoever likes magical stories.

Dragon Rider is a book about a dragon named Firedrake and a certain cat thing named Sorrel. They met a kid named Ben. Ben went with them and a little help from an unexpected manikin named Twigleg. Twigleg was supposed to be a spy for Nettlebrand but betrayed him. At the rim of heaven Firedrake and another dragon kill Nettlebrand. It was a great book and I highly reccomend it.

It is said that an Ice Dragon(Dragons that breath coldness)was seen on the day of her birth and every year after that. Her uncle is a Dragon Rider for the king of the land. There has been a great war raging in the kingdom since before she was born. She sort of makes friends with the Ice Dragon because she is slightly like an Ice Creature and she dosn't burn him with the warmth of her hands. You can read the book to find out what happens next.
