"This book is a must read!"

It's summertime again so Harry's at his aunt and uncle's house again. He detests being there but he really has no other place to go. Harry's wizard friend Ron calls him but his uncle won't let Ron talk to Harry. What a surprise when Harry receives three gifts for his birthday from his wizard friends!

This book involves a big secret and a very dangerous prisoner escaping from Azkaban, the prison for dark wizards! It also involves Harry in a big way but Harry still doesn't know the full story of his parents' deaths and the details surrounding this tale.

Each book reveals more and more secrets about Harry and about his family. I am thoroughly hooked on this series and just as soon as I finished this third book, I was on to the fourth one!
