What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort. Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter’s defeat of You-Know-Who was Black’s downfall as well. And the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, “He’s at Hogwarts . . . he’s at Hogwarts.” Harry Potter isn’t safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.

    This is one of my favorite books out of the Harry Potter series, because it makes you think you know what's happening before spinning you around and spitting you out in a completely different direction. It's also the last Harry Potter book that feels episodic - meaning that for younger readers who aren't ready to get into the longer, darker Harry Potters books later in the series, this is a good place to hit pause on the books.
