The Magician

by Michael Scott

Random House Children's Books | June 24, 2008 | Hardcover

After fleeing Ojai, Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and Scatty emerge in Paris, the City of Lights. Home for Nicholas Flamel. Only this homecoming is anything but sweet. Perenell is still locked up back in Alcatraz and Paris is teeming with enemies. Nicollo Machiavelli, immortal author and celebrated art collector, is working for Dee. He's after them, and time is running out for Nicholas and Perenell. For every day spent without the Book of Abraham the Mage, they age one year-their magic becoming weaker and their bodies more frail. For Flamel, the Prophesy is becoming more and more clear.

It's time for Sophie to learn the second elemental magic: Fire Magic. And there's only one man who can teach it to her: Flamel's old student, the Comte de Saint-Germain-alchemist, magician, and rock star. Josh and Sophie Newman are the world's only hope-if they don't turn on each other first.

    This book picks up right were the last one left off. It is fantastic and just as action packed. It is filled with intrigue, mystery and action just like the first. It takes place in Paris and we get to see a different side of Nicolas, now that he is back in his home town. The twins are faced with the dilemma of who to trust and tensions rise. A great continuation I can't wait for the next book!

    As a continuation from the Alchemyst, it didn't dissapoint. I love the storyline. You never know what's going to happen. Keeps you guessing till the end. The only downside is that I bought both books together, finished it and now I have to wait for book 3... The Sorceress.
