They meet up with Harry's other friend Hermoine who is very angry at them. Suddenly people at Hogwarts start getting petrified into stone! Find out what happens when you read this book.
I liked this book because it talks about the life of a famous wizard. I really liked the part when Harry spoke parseltongue to a sink to get to the Chamber of Secrets. I think the book is special because it is mostly about magic, witches, and wizards. I think the best part is when a phoenix appears and saves Harry. You can also read the other books in the series. I hope you like it a lot.
I recommend this book to kids who like mysteries and magic because it has mystery in it and it's almost all about magic. I hope that anyone who reads this book would really like it. My mom has read it too and really likes it also.
