Claudia's Independant reading book choice

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban:
I chose the book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K Rowling because i love the harry potter series/book collection. I like reading them over and over again, even when I have like all the movies except year 7 which is Deathly Hallows because that hasn't come out yet. Anyways I have read each of the books like 2 times each but the Prisoner of Azkaban I've only read once and the second time I didn't finish it. Also that is my only Harry Potter movie that is scratched- thats because I took it out of its case. SO yeah. Aanother reason why I chose this book is because I love to read fantasy books and mystery and adventure and luckily this book has it all. It has magic would is also not real but its just so cool. Just to let you know the last time I read this book [year 3] was in 5th grade.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret:
Its really hard for me to just have one option so I am also thinking about reading The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick which is obviously also about adventure. Also I have already read this book to, and again the last time I read this book was in 5th grade/or 4th.It was one of the two. But this book is also one of my favorites so I wouldn't mind having to read it again.





The Alchemist:
This book I haven't read at all I just have it and think it's really interesting- it also has adventure in it also I typed up this book on Google and its by Paulo Coelho which I could have just checked on my book but didn't. Also I read that the author tried to add things from a real alchemist named Nicholas Flamel...I thought this was cool because this mans name is mentioned in the first Harry Potter book... Harry Potter and the Sorcerers[Philosophers] stone. So THIS MAN MADE A STONE THAT MAKES YOU PRETTY MUCH..LIVE forever. Anyways this book just seems interesting to me so I want to read it.
