Great Essays
It was now the end of Harry Hames Moffer’s freshman year at Warthogpox High School. It had been an exciting year, if excitement meant that he had to leave his relatives behind and move to a town that didn't believe in childhood unless children were reading a book based on the life of a fictitious boy wizard.
