'The alchemyst: the secrets of the immortal Nicholas Flamel, by Michael Scott.
Perhaps the name Nicholas Flamel is familiar? He was the wizard in 'Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone' who needed the stone to make his elixir of life - the stone that Voldemort was desperate to acquire. Well, in this story Nicholas Flamel, born in 1330, is still alive thanks to his elixir of life and a powerful book that he protects, the Book of Abraham the Mage. Evil Dr John Dee wants the book in order to wipe out humanity. But a prophecy has predicted that Sophie and John Newman can save the world. Very exciting, a great fantasy novel. On display in the library until Friday, come in and reserve it if you think you would like to read it.
