My first reaction to J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter a l'ecole des sorciers was speechlessness. I had no idea that any book could be so wonderful. I'll admit that I found the first few chapters a bit dull. They were necessary, though, because they explained Harry's background and brought you up to the current state of affairs. The rest of the book made up for any lack of excitement in the preceding chapters. After I finished the book for the fourth time, I went out and bought the second installment in the series, then the third etc. I give this book five stars, and my personal recommendation to anyone looking for a good read.

It gives kids something constructive to do in their spare time, instead of playing video games all day long. It also helps kids to develope better creativity skills by having them pick how the finished product will look.

This music is beautifully written for piano. It sounds exactly like the soundtrack. You could even play along with the soundtrack if you wanted to. It includes Diagon Alley, Family Portrait, Harry's Wonderous World, Hedwig's Theme, Quidditch, Voldemort, Fluffy's Harp, and Hogwart's Forever. Harry's Wonderous World is really fun to play and challenging. This book also comes with some pictures in the front, which I thought was kind of neat. But well, I love the soundtrack to death and playing it on the piano makes it seem even more magical to me. You will not regret buying this!!

Spanish language version of the first pf the phenomenal Harry Potter series. An English lad embarks upon a life of magic and wizardry in a special school dedicated to that end. A fabulous read, it not only holds one's attention, but at the same time greatly enhanced my grasp of Spanish. It serves to entertain while reinforcing Spanish language skills. I recommend it to children of all ages who have any background in Spanish.

Garland and Coryn grew up in the same village. Although two years apart in age, the two were close childhood friends, and Garland loved Coryn from the first time she met him. Her dream comes true when she is thirteen, and Coryn tells her he loves her, too. Two years later, they are bethrothed, and it is the happiest day of Garland's life, knowing that they will be married in a few years. But her happiness is shattered when Garland learns that Coryn's family is under a terrible curse. All the men of the family have died young. If Garland doesn't find a way to save him, Coryn will be next. Will Garland's love for Coryn be enough in her search to find the secret to breaking the curse? I highly reccomend this book to teens who enjoy supernatural romances.

For the absolute die-hard fan this book cannot be replaced. It details the recordings the Stones made right down to the recording sessions and which records (including boolegs) they appeared on.

While this book is not one to be read from cover to cover, it does provide every piece of information you could ever need. I just used it to settle a bet as to whether "Honky Tonk Women" or "Country Honk" was released first. I won.
