This is a great book based upon many real-life people. I have seen this unfairly compared to Harry Potter. If you want Harry Potter, pick up a J.K. Rowling book.
Twins, Josh & Sophie, are suddenly thrown into the world of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel and find that everything they thought was myth or legend is real and that history is different than they were thought. They realize that they have the potential to save or destroy the whole world.
This is a great book for all ages however you do need to read the first book in the series, The Alchemyst, to understand what is going on. These books do NOT stand alone.
