The Alchemyst:The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel

The Alchemyst is a book about the famous (and immortal) Nicholas Flamel, his wife Perenelle and two twin teenagers named Josh and Sophie. Josh works for "Nick Fleming" in a bookshop and Sophie at a coffee shop across the street but things go crazy when the twins see things they are not meant to and get wrapped up in a world of magic, weird odors, and thousand year old warriors. We recommend this book to magic and adventure lovers.

Boys: Guys Write for Guys Read

Guys Write for Guys Read

Guys Write for Guys Read is a book that is written by lots of famous authors like Daniel Handler and Christopher Paolini. It is a collection of short stories, poems, comics, advice and so on. We both like it because a lot of it was funny, but some of it was actual advice. (I think.) As we were saying, this is a great book for guys, and if you're looking for a new and different book then this might be the one for you.

Harry Potter

Harry Potter

Many people have read this series, but we think we should give it a review anyways.
If you don't know, this is about a 10 year old boy named Harry Potter. He lives with his aunt, uncle, and his cousin who are The Dursleys. Near his 11th birthday a letter comes that says that he is invited to attend a school called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry but his Aunt and Uncle are determined to not let him go. This book involves owls, cauldrons, and broomsticks, and if you haven't read this book, you really should because we think it's a great book/series and you will have lots of fun reading it.
