Hogwarts School of Middle Grade and YA Lit discussion

This term we will be practicing our flying skills on the school's old Shooting Star brooms, unfortunately. For the main assignment, worth 2 points, read a book with a star (or stars) on the cover. For extra credit, worth 1 point, read a book with a character learning a new skill. Please include your house when posting your completed books, and feel free to share your thoughts on what you have read as well!
