What Parents Need to Know
About Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Parents need to know that though similar to book one, this well-written, exciting sequel keeps kids glued to the page. Illustrations are clever but minimal. This story motivates children to tackle its greater length and complexity and play imaginative games. The young heroes find themselves in many tense situations: in a flying car, surrounded by giant spiders, and facing a giant serpent with Medusa-like abilities. Two characters are near death in the book's climax, but they survive.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about year two at Hogwarts and what Harry learns about himself. What traits are helping him become a hero figure -- and do you feel like you have any of those same qualities? Why must Harry face his greatest enemy alone -- and do you think you could do the same thing? What do we find out about the diary later in the series that makes it so important?

This second installment breaks no new ground, but is an astonishing book anyway.
This book follows the same formula as the Sorcerer's Stone, and while it appears at first that no new ground has been made, twists and turns are often and astonishing, and in the end, the events that happen in this book are huge in the sixth and seventh. As well as the first, this book is rather juvenile, but none the less teens and even adults will undoubtedly fall in love with these books. I reccomend this book highly to anyone and everyone aged 8-9 and older
