Okay, the first book is done. The rest should be a piece of cake. This was a series that I had been reluctant to start because I was afraid that it would be too similar to some of the other fantasy/mythology/adventure series that have been published recently. I'm glad a few of my students talked me into reading it anyway. I really enjoyed it and give it a 4 out of 5.
This is the first in a series about Nicholas Flamel and the "twins of destiny" vs. the evil Dr. Dee. As the twins find out that Nicholas Fleming is really Nicholas Flamel their world is turned upside down. They are told that they have supernatural abilities and are introduced to creatures from all of classical mythology(Greek, Egyptian, Scottish, Irish, etc.) Their quest is to rescue a magical book that was stolen by Dr. Dee, and of course save the world in the process. If you liked the Percy Jackson books and the Kane Chronicles series, you will love this series too. I highly recommend it.
