September 24th Book:

The Alchemyst by Michael Scott
The Alchemyst by Michael Scott
From Goodreads:
When Josh takes a job in a secondhand bookstore in San Francisco, he has no idea that Nick Fleming, the owner, is actually Nicholas Flamel, a 14th-century alchemist who discovered the secret to immortality. Nearly seven hundred years later, Flamel is acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of his day. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life. The records show that he died in 1418. But his tomb is empty, and Nicholas Flamel lives.
Flamel and his powerful wife, Perenelle, are attacked by Dr. John Dee, a magician and astrologer from the court of Queen Elizabeth I. Dee has been chasing Flamel and Perenelle through the centuries and around the globe to retrieve the Book of Abraham the Mage, the codex that holds the secrets of life and death. It’s the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. And 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, Josh and his twin sister, Sophie, are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it. Sometimes legends are true. And Josh and Sophie are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time. Could it be that these twins actually possess the powers that can save the world?
