Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter is half way through his miserable vacation with the Dursleys, his mean rrelatives when a mysterious creature, called a house-elf, shows up and tells Harry not to go back to Hogwarts. Harry is a wizard who gos to school at Hogwarts and enjoys most of it very much. But when Dobby ruins the Dursleys dinner, Harry is locked in his room day and night. He is saved when Ron, his best friend, and Fred and George, ron's brothers show up in a flying car. Ron's sister, Ginny, is starting her first year at Hogwarts, and she proves to be a valuable find for Voldemort, Harry's arch-enemy. But when Ginny is stolen down to the Chamber of Secrets harry and Ron decide to find out what's going on....

I couldn't make up all that myself. I like Lochart, Harry's stuck-up teacher. He takes everything Harry does as trying to get more fame: "...I mean, a few people have heard of you, haven't they? All that business with He-Who-Moust-Not-Be-Named...I know, it's not as good as winning Witch Weekly's Most-Charming-Smile Award five times in a row as I have, but it's a start!" Funny.

Veritas school picnic is today! It's gonna be fun!
