The Secret to a Long Life

In The Alchemyst: Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, the title character has found the secret to immortality, but now his wife, Pernell, and the book that holds his secret have been kidnapped by the evil Dr. John Dee. Every day without the book brings Nicholas and Pernell one year closer to mortality. Their only hope may be 15 year-old twins who are just beginning to understand their magical potential. Surreptitiously dumped into a dangerous world, twins Sophie and Josh have entered a world of immortals, werewolves, vampires, gods, goddesses, and creatures they can't even begin to fathom.

I was hooked from the start of this fast-paced read. Michael Scott's writing is brisk and highly entertaining. Myths are articulately woven together to create a web you won't want to escape from!
