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!
