Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter #2)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series and covers Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

After a summer of being back with the Dursleys, Harry is ready for school to begin. But before he can return he is visited by a small creature who begs him not to go back to Hogwarts. This creature has been stealling all of Harry's mail and making Harry feel as if his friends had forgotten him.

Once his is back at school, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are back together studying magic. But strange happenings begin to occur. And soon the school is not as safe as it once was.

Rowling brilliantly continues Harry's time at Hogwarts with more advance writing along with the more advanced magic Harry and his friends are learning. The Chamber of Secrets is dark for a kids' book, but will delight readers of all ages. If you are a fan of the movies - read the books. They really are quite good.
