The Alchemyst: the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel

First of all, Nicholas is pronounced NICK-oh-la not the other way, like Nicholas in kindergarten. The Alchemyst is about two people, Sophie and Josh. They accidentally stumble upon two ancient magicians battling over an ancient book. 

I can really relate to this book because it takes place in San Francisco and Mill Valley. (Woo-hoo!) This made me think about a lot of stuff. For example, Nicholas Flamel was so old that he knew William Shakespeare. In fact, he used the antagonist's characteristics for Prospero in the Tempest!

    I loved that book it was so good. I loved that it had so much action. I felt like I could relate to it because it was in San Francisco and Mill Valley so it felt like I was in the book and it was so cool. It just kept me stuck in the book, and it felt like time wasn't even passing. And before I knew it I was almost done. I couldn't keep my eyes off the pages, and every day I was so eager to get to the book and read more, and more, and then I figured out I had ten chapters, then I had one more page the time was passing so quickly and before I knew it I was done! There were some interesting words like in Hekate's shadowrealm there were the wereboars and the Tork Alta.
