Prisoner of Azkaban
by J.K. Rowling
Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban — the first person ever to do so — and the Ministry believes he is coming to kill Harry. Dementors descend on Hogwarts, a mysterious new Defence teacher seems to know more about Harry's parents than he lets on, and a secret about the night of the Potters' murder is about to rewrite everything Harry thought he knew.
