The Alchemyst

Do you likes magic? Yes? Than you should consider The Alchemyst, by Michael Scott. It is about two twins named Sophie and Josh who work across the street from each other in San Fransisco. Josh works at a small bookstore under management from Nick and Perry Fleming. Sophie works at a coffee shop. Their worlds are both turned upside down when a strange group of men dressed in black walk into the bookstore. After a series of explosions, the twins find out that Nick Fleming is not at all who people think he is. He is Nicholas Flamel, a legendary alchemyst. Perry Fleming is also a type of alchemyst, her real name is Perenelle. The twins find out that an evil sorcerer called Dr. John Dee stole an ancient book called the Codex, or The Book of Abraham the Mage that provides people with eternal life. This leads them on an epic chase through California and other countries to get the Codex back. Some people have read this book and some haven't, but it was a New York Times bestseller and I would highly recommend it to any fans of the practice of magic.
