Harry is entering his 6th year at Hogwarts and Voldemort is rising back to power. Everyone is panicking as the fear sets in. Harry, however, is having a great time excelling in potions. With the help of his textbook, complete with answers to every potion, curtesy of the mysterious Half-Blood Prince, Harry is doing so well in Potions that he catches the eye of his new professor, Horace Slughorn.

You ever get into a mood where you just don't feel like reading and then one book slingshots you back into it and you finish it in about a day? Yeah, that was me with this book. I was on a reading low, but I absolutely loved this book. It was very easy to put myself into the story and then take myself out. I absolutely loved it!!! Thank you Sarah Ockler, for writing a book that got me out of my reading funk :)
