I am going to talk to you just a little bit about my favourite book in the entire world: The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud. I personally am really into fantasy books-stuff about magic and mystery and intrigue. I went along while thinking that I would never find a fantasy book that could possibly beat Harry Potter. But, one day, while I was shelving in my school library, i stumbled across this book-and i was absolutely blown away. The characters, settings, descriptions and twisting plots are to die for. This really is a fantastic book. Read it please!!!
