Michael Scott's six-part epic fantasy, The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, features Josh and Sophie, fifteen-year-old twins, who find themselves entwined in an otherworldly adventure. In Book 1, the twins learn of a refer- ence to themselves in an ancient prophecy, of Nicholas and his wife Peren- elle's immortality, and of the Flamels' impending death unless the three missing pages of the Codex can be found. Based on a legend about the real Nicholas Flamel, fourteenth-century alchemist who reportedly discovered the secret of immortality, the book is a fast-paced fantasy steeped in world mythology and packed with high action. 2008 Texas Lone Star Award, 2007 Winner Book Sense Children's Pick List.
