The wizarding world of Harry Potter
J.K Rowling is a true artist. She draws her readers into an amazing world weaved in between fantasy and reality. She has written a series of seven books on the life of a wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione.
The first book is exceptionally engaging with themes that children can relate to, for example new friendships mixed with a dash of adventure and magic. A word of caution though, books four, five and six in the series have a darker tone to them with themes about death and murder. Thus, it is up to parents to practice caution when introducing these books.
