The example of the text:

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Reviewed by J.R. Fedynich

When Harry Potter began to be the daily word in our household, as a parent I decided I needed to read the series to see what all the excitement was about. I was pleased and excited to find that “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” by J.K. Rowling was one of the best books I had read in years.
The plot is complex enough to hold the interest of an adult and fanciful enough to grab the interest of any child. It is a pleasure for me to read a series that I have no reservations about letting my children read. The moral lessons in the story are cloaked in magic with mystery enough to instill them into the heads and hearts of young readers.
I would urge all those who are cautious about letting their children read the books to read them for themselves. There is content that promotes good moral, and behavior. There is excitement enough to hold the attention of non-readers. And most important, this book series makes reading fun!
