The Magician by Michael Scott

This great review is from 8th grader Emily M. "This is the sequel to The Alchemyst. Like the first book, Nick Fleming or Nicholas Flamel as he tells the twins his and Perry's real names, is certain that these are indeed the twins of legend. So he travels to the shadow realm of an ancient Elder to have them awakened. Sophie is the first to be awakened and Josh is jealous because the elder died before she could awaken him. But he is also afraid that Sophie won't wake up. Meanwhile, Dee has trapped the Sorceress on an island and has left a sphinx to feed off her aura. Check out this book because I promise it will be a fun read." Thank you, Emily!

The Alchemyst by Michael Scott

This review comes from 8th grader Emily M. "When I first started reading the book I thought it was pretty good. After a couple more chapters, I was thinking WOW this is a great book. The Alchemyst is about twins Sophie and Josh Newman that are believed to be the twins of legend. So Nick and Perry Fleming tried to investigate more about them. Meanwhile a Magician named Doctor John Dee is trying to bring back the dark elders. In order to do this he needs two things: a) the Codex, and b) the twins of the prophecy. To find out the whole story check out this magic filled book in your library." The Alchemyst is on the Rebecca Caudill list. Thanks, Emily!
