Harry Potter Withdrawal List « Library
Suffering from Harry Potter Withdrawal? Here are some suggestions to help you make it through the long drought until the next Harry Potter book comes out. Some are available in the MHS Library, and all can be found at your local public library or bookstore. Expand your fantasy horizons by trying some of these! Some of these books appeal to younger kids, some to older. Also, I have not read all of them, but they have been recommended by reliable sources.
