    Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling

     The book was very interesting and fun. it also had a good balance of comedy and seriousness. My only flaw with it is that the lore didn't make much sense.

      The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien

      This book is an excellent read as it expands on the world of the Lord of the Rings and gives a backstory for the character Bilbo Baggins.

      Alex Rider by Anthony Horowitz

      Amazing, but might freak out younger kids. This book is incredible, and kept me up until midnight reading it. There are some scenes where people get shot,
        and other scenes such as a strangle, that might freak out younger kids. Great book though!
