And his secrets aren't safe Discover the truth in book three of the New York Times bestselling series the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. The Problem: Perenelle Flamel is trapped. What's Worse: Sophie and Josh might soon be as well.

The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel has everything you loved about Harry Potter, including magic, mystery, and a constant battle of good versus evil.--BustleRead the whole series The Alchemyst The Magician The Sorceress The Necromancer The Warlock The Enchantress
I have been wating for this book for about a year now, and it was well worth the wait. I read it in one sitting. This series is fast paced, inventive, and full of very developed characters. As an adult reader, I could obviously tell the book was written for a younger set, but it is just something to remember when judging this book and the rest of the series. The only bad thing I can say is that I am not looking forward to waiting another year for the forth.
A Great Series

I loved this book. It was so much fun to read. The old characters continue to grow as our knowledge of them deepens and the new ones (heroes and villians) are fabulous. I had to look up some of the them online to learn more about them. I can hardly wait for book number four.
Excited

I was so excited to hear that Michael Scott wrote the third book in his series. This one is even better than the previous two. and I read it from cover to cover last evening. As a fan of this genre of literature and a teacher, I know I can happily recommend this book as well as the two others to my students. Keep them coming, Michael.
Great read!
