This amazing fantasy novel combines history, folklore, mythology, and legend to create an adventure that will long be remembered. Twins Sophie and Josh are ready for a spectacular summer in San Francisco. They both found jobs--Sophie will work afternoons in the coffee shop memorizing the fragrant teas, while Josh will be across the street at the antique bookstore. The bookstore owner--Nick Flemming--has a few secrets up his sleeve. Nick Flemming has been known for nearly 700 years as the greatest Alchemyst of all time--Nicholas Flamel. He is the translator and keeper of the Book of Abraham the Mage--the most powerful book to ever exist because it holds the secret to eternal life. When The Immortals come to steal the book, Sophie and Josh must find it before time runs out. Without the book, Nicholas and his wife will die and their secrets will be lost forever.
