Harry Potter Inside

Editorial Reviews

Book Description:
He holds the secret that can end the world.

The truth: Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on September 28, 1330. Nearly 700 years later, he is acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of his day. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life.

The records show that he died in 1418.

But his tomb is empty.

The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives. But only because he has been making the elixir of life for centuries. The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects—the Book of Abraham the Mage. It’s the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. That’s exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind won’t know what’s happening until it’s too late. And if the prophecy is right, Sophie and Josh Newman are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it.

Sometimes legends are true.

And Sophie and Josh Newman are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time.

Great Read! by J. Jessica
I cant wait for the next! If you loved Harry potter, or the lord of the rings youll love it!

Ho, hum….. by N. Kildahl
Somewhat engaging, with plenty of different characters and challenges and dire escapes galore. Some interesting esoteric references and even a little physics (parallel worlds), but without the really “real” characters and creations of a true children’s/young adult classic. Certainly a lot of opportunities for special effects for the movie “The Golden Compass”. Don’t even think about “Lyra’s Oxford” - just a little extra chapter that could have gone into the book.

For Harry Potter Fans by Sue Moro
Having read about the character of Nicholas Flamel in the first Harry Potter novel, I was intrigued to see another book mentioning the same person. I decided to give this book a try, and I loved it! All the characters are well written, and except for the twins, all the characters really existed. The true story of Nicholas and Perenelle (his wife) is equally mysterious. I anxiously await book #2 in this wonderful series!

Two twins can change the world, but little do they realize their whole lives are about to change when Dr. Dee walks into the bookstore where Josh works. Sophie, who works across the street, senses something suspicious after watching the strange man.

After a magical fight that involves both siblings, they discover Josh’s boss isn’t exactly who he’s claiming to be.

He is in fact the famous Nicolas Flamel, whose tomb lies empty. He and his wife have been on the run to escape Dr. Dee’s clutches and hide a magical book, which holds more secrets than anyone imagines. When Dr Dee captures Nicholas’s wife and part of the book, Nicholas reacts quickly. Since the twins have already been exposed, he allows them to accompany him as he sets forth to recover both Perry and the book.

Michael Scott pens the first novel in a new series with action-packed adventure and fantasy. Harry Potter fans will, of course, recognize the name Nicholas Flamel, but that’s where the similarities between the two stories end. THE ALCHEMYST delivers a fresh spin on magic that is sure to please.
