The Alchemyst


Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel

Author: Michael Scott
Ages: 12+
Rating: 4/5

About: Josh and Sophie both got summer jobs in San Francisco, Josh at a bookshop and Sophie at a coffee shop across the street, with the aim to save up and buy a car. But their summer goals very quickly change when they get mixed up in a centuries long battle with immortals they thought only existed in myths and legends.

Thoughts: I listened to this on Audio book, and really liked the narrator -Denis O'Hare. He did great voices for all the characters, including different accents.

This was a good adventure, and I quite enjoyed the way that the author wove history in with the story. This book ended with a straight lead in to the second, which I picked up right away, I was so into it.

I was disappointed that the second audio book has a different narrator. It really threw the story off in my mind and stopped listening to it. When I come back to the series I will read them instead.
