Originally it’s a children’s book, but it is also readable for adults.
The I in the story is stranded with his plane in an African dessert, where he meets the little prince. This little guy has been hopping from planet to planet and from star to star to get the answers to his questions. Every person on each planet/star symbolizes an aspect of the adult world, the culture and society we live in. There is for example the king who wants to rule everything, the businessman who counts the stars and wants to own them to gain from them. This are only two examples of the seven people he meets, but they all are part of the world we as grown humans live in. The little prince and with him the children who read this book have to learn how this world works. For the adults who read this story it’s time to reflect and ponder.

This is the fifth book in the famous and by now classic story of Harry Potter the teenage wizard. “He-who-must-not-be-named” is back now for only a little while and the world already isn’t the same anymore. People fight a lot, Hogwarts is taken over by the Ministry of Magic (which is not a good thing), Harry Potter is being portrayed as a liar and last but not least “the order of the Phoenix” is being formed again after almost 16 years. So much for a quiet year.
