Thought you knew history? Well you thought wrong! Just Kidding. But this book really makes you think, but after all you know it's just a fairy tale.
Rating: * * * * *
This series starts off as just a regular day for twin brother and sister, Josh and Sophie. Suddenly they realize that the bookshop's (in which Josh works) owner is the French immortal Nicholas Flamel. Flamel and his wife Perenelle (pronounced per-nell) are guarding a secret book in with letters switch and move showing new spells within. This book, known as The Codex, is extremely special since in the wrong hands it could outright destroy all of humanity.
Yet there is another man in the game of holding The Codex. His name? The infamous John Dee. John has chased the Flamels for hundreds of years and intends on giving the book to his dark master. He will do anything in his power to see that the Flamels no longer keep a hold of The Codex.
Join Josh and Sophie as they are taken around the world only to discover that they are special twins and that everything they believed is very, very wrong.
