‘The Alchemyst’ by Michael Scott

The big title for this book is ‘The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel’.

This is probably one of my favourite books of all time. I read it fast! I would highly recommend it to anyone. It is extremely well written and explained. I think anyone can love this explosive read, because I really did and I hope you can. The book is about Sophie and Josh Newman, two fifteen year old twins who are found by, the 600 year old immortal, Nicolas Flamel (yes, he is in talked about in Harry Potter!). The twins also have mythical powers, which means they are the supposed twins of destiny in the story. The are tasked with stopping the rising evil before it can destroy the world. This is, as I said, an explosive read.
