The Magacian is a fantasy book. Twins Josh and Sophie Newman have found out that everything is NOT what it seems, as they walk throught the streets with a man who claims to be over 500 years old. That man is no other than the legendary Nicholas Flamel. In their company is a girl named Scathach, who is an excellent warrior and to their surprise, a vampire. 
 Sophie now knows the maigc of fire, and her brother Josh has been awakened, but at what price? The immortal who awakened him said he had given him a "gift." But what is this mysterious gift, and what can Josh do with it? After getting out of the underground passageways, Nicholas, Josh, Sophie, Joan, and Saint German find themselves under attack by none other than John Dee and Machiavelli. Stone animals and gargoyles flank them, and while the power of fire alone does nothing, and the power of wind alone does nothing, together they blast the stone animals to pieces! Meanwhile Scathach is still underwater with Dracon, and as they fight underwater Nicholas and the others are left wondering what will happen. I woudld reccomend this bbto anyone that likes adventure books and/or books that have to do with magic and mythological creatures. But make sure you read the first boook - The Alchymest - before you read this one!
