Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling

I thought it was really good.  I liked the storyline and all the surprises and the challenges.  I also liked the ending with Voldemort and Professor Moody.  This is so far my favorite Harry Potter book.

The Crow by Alison Croggen

This book is the 3rd book in the Pellinor Series.  This Fantasy series is about a boy names Hem who is trying to escape from a city under siege to avoid the dark forces.  The author give enough details, without doing to much, that allows you to get into the action of the book.  The description of the world she created is believable.  I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys following a character through struggles and fantasy.
