But that universe is threatened when her strong father has a stroke. It’s a small world, but it’s the only one she fits in. To Chela, her family is like a solar system, with her father the sun and her mother, brothers, and sister like planets rotating all around him. She buries herself in schoolwork and in the warm comfort of her family. But nothing is as she imagined-her best friend turns on her to join the popular girls and they all act like Chela doesn’t exist.

And we all know things just aren’t the same when Hermione isn’t around.Īlso, apparently Secrets went through a relatively complex editing process, and Rowling herself struggled to write it, especially after the success of the first book. It’s still a good book, but it suffers from a somewhat bland plot, as well as a large section of the book without Hermione. Secrets is probably the least important book in the series over all.
