The Alchemyst: The Secrects of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel - By Michael Scott

Hey Guys it’s Annie, I hope you all had a great spring break. I personally used my spring break to read and sleep. The one book I mainly read was The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott. The Alchemyst is the first in a six book series about twins Sophie and Josh Newman. When Sophie and Josh started living and working in San Francisco while their parents were away for the summer they didn’t expect to be sucked into a world of magic and monsters but with the help of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel and his wife Perenelle they might just make it through the life threatening adventures they have and maybe discover that they have magical powers of their own. I really enjoyed The Alchemyst, the story is told through different points of view throughout the story which helps to give an understanding to the world which this book is set. I also like how Scott took references from history and pop culture and mixed it into the Flamels and many of the other immortal characters histories. I’ve personally been looking for books that are series (who likes to have a story end?) and I really enjoy how Scott took the time in the first book to lay ground work for the rest, I look forward to the rest of the series. If you have any good books that you read over the summer leave a comment and the Blog Team will check them out J.

Group Study Rooms

One of the library's many features is its group study rooms. These are places that you can go if you need some private study time, or if you are working on a project with friends. The whiteboards in each room prove useful when working on math, and when writing a paper, there are dictionaries on the shelves. If you want to reserve a study room, please talk to one of the librarians.
