Harry Potter, and the Deathy hollows by J.K. Rowling
Fantasy
My Book talk is on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It is the last book in the series written by J.K. Rowling. This book is about when Harry is ZAPPED back to London to find a sword that once belonged to a very powerful sorcerer. Then the puzzle pieces fall into place. When Harry comes back with his sword to find that Hogwarts is being attacked, he has to do something. Read the book to see what is going to happen. My favorite part is when Harry faces Voldemort for the last time in the middle of the biggest battle ever. I think you will like this book if you like an adventure, with a little bit of magic.
