Chilling, malevolent voices whisper from the walls only to Harry, and it seems certain that his classmate Draco Malfoy is out to get him. Soon it's not just Harry who is worried about survival, as dreadful things begin to happen at Hogwarts. The mysteriously gleaming, foot-high words on the wall proclaim, "The Chamber of Secrets Has Been Opened. Enemies of the Heir, Beware." But what exactly does it mean? Harry, Hermione, and Ron do everything that is wizardly possible--including risking their own lives--to solve this 50-year-old, seemingly deadly mystery. This deliciously suspenseful novel is every bit as gripping, imaginative, and creepy as the first; familiar student concerns--fierce rivalry, blush-inducing crushes, pedantic professors--seamlessly intertwine with the bizarre, horrific, fantastical, or just plain funny. Once again, Rowling writes with a combination of wit, whimsy, and a touch of the macabre that will leave readers young and old desperate for the next installment. (Ages 9 and older) --Karin Snelson
well, she's done it again! you never know what will happen…. and you learn alot about the past.
j.k. rowling has accomplished something that nearly no other author can, she has drawn in every sort of crowd. I read this series originally in 7th grade, again in my sopohomore year of college, and in between that time I loaned it to my grandmother who read it and loved it as well. What other book can you say is that adaptable to its audience? There is much more to gain than fantasy from these books and I would suggest them to anyone of any age.
