I recently read a book by Sergey Ivanov "He is not among us." The book is about life, about teenagers, the painful issues that in one way or another, affect not only adults but also children. Reading it, I saw a fine writer feels teenager at the time of his adolescence: uneven, unpredictable behavior, extremism, thirst for justice and harmony in the family. Heroes of the story - young 80's, but their problems and conflicts are close to us, their peers in today's sense of life and emotion.
I liked the book because it tells about my age, such as sixth-graders, and they - the most interesting people, and I want to note that at this age are different changes that occur other than the above relation.
Before school children have time to comprehend what friendship and betrayal, courage and cowardice. But even with this little experience, a person is not easy to establish itself in the school community. For example, I did not like it, as did the heroine of the story, to become the first girl in her class. The result - she was alone. A surprise event that occurred in the class, raised to the true height of the seemingly weak and indecisive boy. That's what growing up small.
Read this story got me thinking about the relationship classmates. I think the writers Ivan, one of the few that dared to speak frankly about the young reader. And he did it.

The last book, which I have read, was Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

The book tells the story of a boy named Harry Potter, who at the age of 11 learns that he is a wizard, and not just a wizard, but "the boy who survived". Harry Potter is known by the entire Wizarding community because he defeated the most evil and powerful wizard. He goes to the school of witchcraft and wizardry Hogwarts, where he finds for the first time in the lives of friends. School became his home. But the danger lies in wait for him everywhere, and again the Dark Lord wants to kill him.
