Hold on to your hats and get ready for nonstop action when you read The Alchemyst by Michael Scott. Sophie and Josh are 15-year-old twins living in modern day San Franscisco, but once they start helping to recover a stolen book called the Codex (not a biggie...it only contains the secret to immortality!), their world is filled with a 14th-century alchemist (Nicholas Flamel), various gods, magic, and myth. The twins learn that not only do they have magical powers that were predicted in the ancient Codex, but it may be up to them to save the world from the evil Elder Race. It's a hard book to put down, since the end of almost every chapter ends in a cliff-hanger, and at the end of the book...aauugh! What happens now? You'll have to pick up the next book in the series, The Magician, to find out.
