English children's novel by Ali Sparkes, published in 2009

These books get harder and harder to put down! Ali Sparkes has done a really good job with them. I can’t wait to read the next one!

For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort.Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts . . . he's at Hogwarts."Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.

Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment—and redemption. Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten- pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the warden makes the boys "build character" by spending all day, every day, digging holes: five feet wide and five feet deep. It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment—and redemption.

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

The war against Voldemort is not going well; even Muggle governments are noticing. Ron scans the obituary pages of the Daily Prophet, looking for familiar names. Dumbledore is absent from Hogwarts for long stretches of time, and the Order of the Phoenix has already suffered losses.And yet . . .As in all wars, life goes on. The Weasley twins expand their business. Sixth-year students learn to Apparate - and lose a few eyebrows in the process. Teenagers flirt and fight and fall in love. Classes are never straightforward, through Harry receives some extraordinary help from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince.So it's the home front that takes center stage in the multilayered sixth installment of the story of Harry Potter. Here at Hogwarts, Harry will search for the full and complete story of the boy who became Lord Voldemort - and thereby find what may be his only vulnerability.

There is a door at the end of a silent corridor. And it’s haunting Harry Pottter’s dreams. Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror?Harry has a lot on his mind for this, his fifth year at Hogwarts: a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey; a big surprise on the Gryffindor Quidditch team; and the looming terror of the Ordinary Wizarding Level exams. But all these things pale next to the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named - a threat that neither the magical government nor the authorities at Hogwarts can stop.As the grasp of darkness tightens, Harry must discover the true depth and strength of his friends, the importance of boundless loyalty, and the shocking price of unbearable sacrifice.His fate depends on them all.

Harry Potter is leaving Privet Drive for the last time. But as he climbs into the sidecar of Hagrid’s motorbike and they take to the skies, he knows Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters will not be far behind.The protective charm that has kept him safe until now is broken. But the Dark Lord is breathing fear into everything he loves. And he knows he can’t keep hiding.To stop Voldemort, Harry knows he must find the remaining Horcruxes and destroy them.He will have to face his enemy in one final battle.--jkrowling.com

The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strikeAnd strike it does. For in Harry's second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, 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 life is miserable. His parents are dead and he's stuck with his heartless relatives, who force him to live in a tiny closet under the stairs. But his fortune changes when he receives a letter that tells him the truth about himself: he's a wizard. A mysterious visitor rescues him from his relatives and takes him to his new home, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.After a lifetime of bottling up his magical powers, Harry finally feels like a normal kid. But even within the Wizarding community, he is special. He is the boy who lived: the only person to have ever survived a killing curse inflicted by the evil Lord Voldemort, who launched a brutal takeover of the Wizarding world, only to vanish after failing to kill Harry.Though Harry's first year at Hogwarts is the best of his life, not everything is perfect. There is a dangerous secret object hidden within the castle walls, and Harry believes it's his responsibility to prevent it from falling into evil hands. But doing so will bring him into contact with forces more terrifying than he ever could have imagined.Full of sympathetic characters, wildly imaginative situations, and countless exciting details, the first installment in the series assembles an unforgettable magical world and sets the stage for many high-stakes adventures to come.

This was my all time favourite book and also in one of my favourite series when I was younger. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I don’t often read books more than once but for this, I made an exception and was not disappointed.

  'Je zei toch dat je niets had gegeten of gedronken? Maar waarom verga je dan niet van de honger?'\
Bij het eerste deel had ik het al gezegd: het is zo'n reeks waarvan je niet ziet aankomen waar het naartoe gaat. Je denkt dat dit zo'n lekker ontspannend verhaal wordt, wel met wat spanning, maar meer ook niet.En dan krijg je dit op je bord. Oeps. Even slikken.Het begint al meteen veel serieuzer. De personages zijn bekend, de wereld is uitgelegd, dus dan wordt het zonder aarzelen meteen recht het verhaal in.En het is een goed verhaal, mensen, wauw. Ik was vergeten hoe goed. Ik wist nog hoe het eindigde. Laat me je vertellen: je ziet het totaal niet aankomen. Doorheen het hele boek wordt alles lichtjes opgebouwd, komen er meer dingen naar de oppervlakte die je helpen met het te ontraadselen, maar je gaat echt niet (veel) sneller dan Dax en Lisa uitgevogeld hebben. Pas bij het herlezen wordt duidelijk hoeveel hints er eigenlijk gegeven worden, hoe mooi alles in elkaar valt. Het is ongelofelijk ingenieus gedaan.Uiteindelijk word je dus wel ferm op het verkeerde been gezet. Dit is veel meer dan zomaar een avonturenverhaaltje over een paar kinderen die wat probleempjes hebben op hun school-voor-begaafden. Je zit gewoon de godganse tijd op het puntje van je stoel tijdens het lezen, temeer omdat er de hele tijd ook in dit boek weer een dreiging verscholen zit. Je weet dat er iets mis is, maar je begrijpt niet goed wat, maar je weet wél dat het héél ernstig wordt.Ik ben nog steeds een Dax+Lisa-fan, en die hebben hier een paar goeie scènes samen. Lisa's personage wordt hier goed uitgediept; uiteindelijk komen zij en de andere hoofdpersonages in het eerste deel relatief laat aan bod, dus er kon nog aan gewerkt worden, en dat wordt hier zeker gedaan. Haar manier van doen is geweldig. Dit is ook zo'n badass van voor de periode dat dat woord gebruikt werd. Tof dat zij, naarmate het einde nadert, ook een belangrijkere rol krijgt.En dat einde... zie je dus niet komen. Op heel veel vlakken. Die laatste vijftig bladzijdes, daar val je van de ene verbazing in de andere. Onthullingen, gebeurtenissen, wendingen... Alles zit er in. Het zit boordevol. En je blijft heel benieuwd achter naar Boek 3 - maar dan moet je wel overschakelen op het Engels, want meer dan Boek 1 en 2 is er niet vertaald. Jammer maar helaas!8,4/10

When Dax receives an urgent call, he knows he has to drop everything and race to the aid of his friends. But that's not as easy as it sounds. Strange things are happening-unbelievable occurrences that seem to be following Dax and his friends wherever they go. And that's not all that's after them . . . Government agents are stalking their every move-tracking them down. The very people who are supposed to be protecting them seem to be the biggest threat. Who can they trust? Where should they run? Each of the friends must call upon their special powers to try to outwit their pursuers-but will these abilities spell the end for them all?

This collection has been on my to read list for years, I'm so so so glad I finally got round to reading them uttely brilliant pieces of literature. This is staying on my bookcase!

Dax Jones will not be tamed. The Children of Limitless Ability can do all sorts of amazing things. Terrifying things too. Some can move things with their minds. Some can make themselves vanish. Dax Jones can change his form; can hurtle through the sky at 200km an hour, or swim underwater for minutes on end. But all is not well. Fenton Lodge, the school and home the COLA kids had grown to love over the past few years, is being turned into a prison. The new prime minister has set up a crack force of experts to manage, contain and use the COLA resource in the best interests of decent hardworking British people. And ...if necessary ...to shut it all down. Permanently. With all communication scrutinized, Dax's only option is to write to his spoilt little sister, Alice. Even she might notice something is amiss, if she reads his letters properly. And Alice, for all her annoying shallowness, does notice. And what she does about it is extraordinary. But then, she is the half-sister of Dax Jones.

Worst bit about this book: Harry Potter / X-men crossover.Best bit about this book: Harry Potter / X-men crossover.I absolutely adored Ali Sparkes's Wishful Thinking, a book about a boy whose uneventful and "pathetic" existence is turned upside down when a Celtic Deity decides to "fix" his life. It's the funniest, most charming children book I've ever read, so naturally I had high expectations for Finding the Fox too.  What I expected  was a cute little story about a boy's adventures and mishaps caused by his uncanny ability to turn into a fox. Lots of comedy and humor. What I got  was "a kid with special powers goes to a top secret school for gifted children". So Dax, our protagonist, finds out one day that, under a certain amount of stress, he is able to transform into a fox. This doesn't go unnoticed by the British government and he is quickly whisked away to the middle of nowhere (I think it was Cornwall?), where telekinetics, telepaths, healers, illusionists, clairvoyants and other kids with special gifts are attending school in "peace". Needless to say, having classmates who can move objects with their minds, forward messages from your dead relatives on pink notes and vanish in a blink, can be quite exciting, but Dax is too busy dealing with his own inability to control his transformation and the nagging feeling that not everything in this place is as perfect as it seems.I have to admit, I wasn't sure whether I liked the direction this book was heading at first. Once Dax was taken to the school, my mind kept screaming "Harry Potter but with X-men" for a few chapters. Thankfully, after a while the story sucks you in and you stop noticing the similarities. In fact, Finding The Fox has enough memorable moments and characters to make it worth checking out. If you enjoy reading children books, make sure to check out:\
