Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Book 2 By:J.K. Rowling
The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the H ogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags Harry recieves a warning from a strange impish creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike.
And strike it does. For in Harry's second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny.
But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone - or something - starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects ... Harry Potter himself!

"Harry Potter's exploits during his second year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry completely live up to the bewitching measure of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The mystery, zany humor, student rivalry, and eccentric faculty ... are as expertly crafted here as in the first book." - Booklist, starred review
