I really liked this book. I read it a couple of years ago, and saw it at the library recently. I haven't finished it yet, but many people in my class are reading it too. My mom even likes it.

Nicholas Flamel appeared in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter—but did you know he really lived? And he might still be alive today! Discover the truth in Michael Scott’s New York Times bestselling series the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel with The Alchemyst, book one.
The truth: Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on September 28, 1330.
The legend: Nicholas Flamel discovered the secret of eternal life.
The records show that he died in 1418.
But his tomb is empty.
Nicholas Flamel lives. But only because he has been making the elixir of life for centuries.
The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects—the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. That's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind won't know what's happening until it's too late. And if the prophecy is right, Sophie and Josh Newman are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it.
Sometimes legends are true. And Sophie and Josh Newman are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time.
“[A] A riveting fantasy…While there is plenty here to send readers rushing to their encyclopedias…those who read the book at face value will simply be caught up in the enthralling story. A fabulous read.”—SLJ, Starred

is good if you like magic and stuff, well alchamy
this book is so good but kinda boring in the begining
Also, I would love to be immortal! Like the twins or the Flamels! My fav character is Perenelle Delamere Flamel!
I read 2 books in the series! Oh my gosh, it is sooo good. This is the tie for me between the Hunger Games trilogy!
Nicholas Flamel tries to live a normal life as Nick Fleming but soon John Dee comes for him.Dee take Nicholas's wife, Penelope, captive. Life for Nick isn't easy, especially while dragging 2 kids along the way.
In this good book, you will find humans who are immortal, Dark Elders who try to take over the world, and two special kids who are TWINS. The prophecy mentions twins in which one will have the power to save the world, while the other has the power to destroy it.
I loved this book because of the breath taking moments and mystical magic that takes place to make a perfect action packed adventure for two twins who were the chosen ones for having the auras of gold and silver! Stay tuned and continue this amazing series and I know you wont be disappointed!
I've read this before. The beginning is a bit confusing but I love this book. Make sure to stay tuned for a twisted end that will leave you surprised.
