The Alchemyst

    I'm am reading this book called the Alchemyst. It is action packed and full of suspense. It is about two twins (Sophie and Josh) who have a prophesy written about them. It says they will have to save the world. 

     At the beginning of the book a evil scourer attacks the shop owner Josh works for. That was one of my favorite parts in the whole book. The scourer brings these creatures made of mud. Thy are kind of like people, but they melt and die when they are in the sun for to long.  During the battle the twins learn about magic. By that I mean they see a curled haze with sparks a explosions. Half way through the battle josh is holding a very valuable book. I thought it was kind of weird how all he wants to save is a book. Then the evil scourer comes up and grabs the book from Josh's Hand. At least all but two pages of it. I didn't think much of it. I mean what use are two pages. It turns out the book is full of magic spells and the two pages that Josh saved are the most important ones. I still think that that is kind of random. But kind of cool.

    As you can see the Alchemyst is a really cool, action packed, humorous, and suspenseful book. I hope you think so too.
