The first Harry Potter novel has seen a spike in purchases between March 22 and 28. Here’s a look at the list of most sold Amazon books last week.

As more people stay at home, more books are being read. Adults aren’t just looking for great books to read, but they’re getting their children into some fa-favorites. Here’s a look at the list of most sold Amazon books from Mar. 22 and 28.

It shouldn’t be all that surprising to hear that Little Fires Everywhere has made it to the top of the list. The series on Hulu is based on the novel, and naturally, many viewers want to see how the novel ended. They want to see the development of the characters on the screen.

More from Amazon Books

Another unsurprising move is the first Harry Potter book up the list. However, what may be surprising is the size of jump that happened. It moved up 10 places, as more parents are looking for novels for their children. It’s natural that some old favorites will quickly make a comeback.

It wasn’t the only large jump, either. Glendy Venderah’s Where the Forest Meets the Stars jumped up eight spots after returning to the list of most sold Amazon books the previous week.

There were some big movers down to make way for some new books and some reentries, too. The Mirror & the Light by Hilary Mantel lost 10 places, while The Dare by Lauren Landish lost eight places.
