Synopsis Alchemy, an ancient potion, terrifying villains, and even a tree house-dwelling goddess are part of this riveting, fast-paced young adult fantasy. When 15-year-old twins Sophie and Josh took summer jobs across the street from each other, the pair didn't expect to discover that they are deeply involved in a 13th-century alchemist's fate. Nicholas Flamel guards the precious, irreplaceable Book of Abraham the Mage, which has vast and dangerous secrets, just like Nicholas himself. The nefarious Dr. John Dee has stolen the book, and with it, he will destroy the world. The twins must stop him, no matter what.
While working at pleasant but mundane summer jobs in San Francisco, fifteen-year-old twins, Sophie and Josh, suddenly find themselves caught up in the deadly, centuries-old struggle between rival alchemists, Nicholas Flamel and John Dee, over the possession of an ancient and powerful book holding the secret formulas for alchemy and everlasting life.
