This morning on the "Today" show, Anne Curry interviewed this little girl who was able to get a copy of this book before the release date. (Her dad knows someone in the bookstore business.) She was more than excited to be the first person to read the book. And I must add that this is some book.... being over 700 hundred pages/37 chapters long. WOW! Great summer reading for kids!

Can you tell me more about these books? I've noticed that they are the latest craze. Even Oprah talks about them. All I know about these books is that Harry Potter is a magician.

The little girl on the "Today" show said that chapter one is scary. However, I don't know what constitutes scary nowadays in childrens books and I'm almost afraid to ask. I often read novels to my son at bedtime - a chapter each night. Having read Harry Potter books before, do you think this book would be suitable for a 5 year old? I noticed that you suggested reading the first three books first. Is this a continuing series where the next book picks up where the last one left off? Feel free to respond via my email address.

Thanks!
