Book Club Recommendation Cards

Every marking period, students are expected to offer at least ONE (1) book recommendation for their peers. Every
Friday will host a new Book Club where we will make book recommendations and/or read silently for the hour. You
do not HAVE to make a recommendation every Friday, unless you want to , but sometime before the Marking
Period ends, you must make one to collect your full 100 pts.

Who would like this book?

What type of audience, or reader, would enjoy this

book? What can a reader expect? Give DETAILS!

I think anyone who enjoys suspenseful books that deal with

fantasy elements like magic spells, magical animals, or made
up worlds, will like this book. I think young people especially
will like this book, because Harry is 11 years old. You can
expect a creatively described alternative world to how we
live life today.
