This post concerns a book that should be read by those 600 years old or over.

Or at least, that’s the recommendation made to us from the world of Nicholas Flamel, an extraordinarily old bookseller-turned-alchemist. The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel tells the story of Flamel, who discovered the book of Abraham the Mage several hundred years ago and has been using it to brew an ever-changing life-extending potion. Of course, that isn’t all he’s up to. What else is happening? Only the potential destruction of the world. You see, The Book of Abraham tells of a set of twins who will either destroy the world or save it, and Nicholas thinks he may just have found those prophesized siblings.

The Nicholas Flamel series follows the twins, Josh and Sophie Newman, and Nicholas as he attempts to safeguard them from the many parties who would do them harm (or harness them for their own purposes), train them to discover and use their magical abilities, and keep safe the Book of Abraham. That’s a lot of work for a man closing in on his 700th birthday.
