When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves . But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss. These new editions of the classic and internationally bestselling, multi-award-winning series feature instantly pick-up-able new jackets by Jonny Duddle, with huge child appeal, to bring Harry Potter to the next generation of readers. It's time to PASS THE MAGIC ON .

Das System sagt, wen du lieben sollst - aber was sagt dein Herz? Stell dir vor, du lebst in einer Welt, die ein absolut sicheres Leben garantiert. Doch dafür musst du dich den Gesetzen des Systems beugen: den Menschen lieben, der für dich bestimmt wird. Was würdest du tun? Für die wahre Liebe dein Leben riskieren? Für die 17-jährige Cassia ist heute der wichtigste Tag ihres Leben: Sie erfährt, wen sie mit 21 heiraten wird. Doch das Ergebnis überrascht alle: Xander, Cassias bester Freund, ist als ihr Partner vom System ausgewählt worden. Als jedoch, offenbar wegen eines technischen Defekts, das Bild eines anderen Jungen auf dem feierlich überreichten Microchip auftaucht, wird Cassia misstrauisch. Kann das System wirklich entscheiden, wen sie lieben soll?
