#tbt: The Alchemyst by Michael Scott
The Alchemyst by Michael Scott. The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel Book #1. 400 p. Delacorte Press/ Random House Children's Books, May, 2007. 9780385733571.
#tbt features The Alchemyst by Michael Scott. The Alchemyst is book one of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series. This sweeping six-book saga features many figures from various world mythologies as well as prominent historical figures, such as Flamel, who have chosen to become immortal. There is a prophecy about a twin brother and sister in a book called The Codex. Flamel believes twins, Sophie and Josh Newman may be those twins and he hopes to awaken their latent magic and recapture The Codex, which was stolen from him. The fast-paced globe-trotting will keep readers engaged and guessing.
