The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott

THE ALCHEMYST is about an immortal alchemyst with 2 teenagers. The alchemyst, Nicholas Flamel, has a book covered in copper that can destroy the world. It is called the codex, or the book, or the book of Abraham the Madge. A man named Dr. John Dee wants the book to destroy the world. The teenagers are twins. One is a girl and one is a boy. Sophie and Josh Newman. They have SUPER RARE auras. Auaras are colors that surround people's bodies. Nicholas Flamel's aura is emerald and smells like mint. Sophie has a silver aura and smells like vanilla. Josh has a gold aura and smells like orange. Dr. Dee has a yellowish/brownish aura that smells like a mix of rotten eggs and peppermint. Silver and gold auras are super rare. One solid color is rare, too. But most people have mixed colored auras. Sophie, Josh, and Nicholas Flamel are with a girl with red hair and whose name is Scathach, but people call her Scatty. 

Dr. Dee steals the book but Josh pulls out two pages out of it. Those were very important pages. They were of the final summoning. This is the thing that they need to destroy the world. Without them Dr. Dee can't destroy the world. 

Sophie, Josh, Nicholas and Scatty went to a tree that is humungous -- as big as a house, called Yggdrasill, and stayed in there for a few days. Sophie and Josh need to have their powers awakened before they can use their powers, but there is a lady who lives near the tree and she can awaken their powers. Her name is Hekate. She awakens Sophie's powers, but not Josh's.

They go to visit the Witch of Endor so she can teach Sophie the magic of wind because if Sophie does not know how to do this magic she can not use all of her powers properly to help stop Dr. Dee from destroying the world. 

This book is very interesting because it is not real. The story is exciting. I liked the whole book.
