All Harry Potter wants is to get away from the Dursleys and go back to Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby - who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike. And strike it does.
For in Harry's second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny.
But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone--or something--starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects... Harry Potter himself. "

Oh, the pure humor in this book! And the packed, well paced action. Jennie writes from a place of enjoyment and I’ve immensely enjoyed reading her pervious works. Then, The Goat Cartel landed, and once again she’s managed to pull a masterful story, where descriptions are relayed in fresh eyes (a scene where the narrator is describing a Maasai lady is just so beautiful, I had to pause and admire it), where things are not what they at first seem, where seemingly minute detail later on become the key to the plot puzzle. And the dynamic between Sali and Tiptip is just so natural and human. Reading this, and other Jennie’s writing, confirms this statement I heard somewhere; a good young readers’ book should be enjoyed by both the young readers and adult readers.
