Product Description
After fleeing Ojai, Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and Scatty emerge in Paris, the City of Lights. Home for Nicholas Flamel. Only this homecoming is anything but sweet. Perenell is still locked up back in Alcatraz and Paris is teeming with enemies. Nicollo Machiavelli, immortal author and celebrated art collector, is working for Dee. He’s after them, and time is running out for Nicholas and Perenell. For every day spent without the Book of Abraham the Mage, they age one year—their magic becoming weaker and their bodies more frail. For Flamel, the Prophesy is becoming more and more clear.
It’s time for Sophie to learn the second elemental magic: Fire Magic. And there’s only one man who can teach it to her: Flamel’s old student, the Comte de Saint-Germain—alchemist, magician, and rock star. Josh and Sophie Newman are the world’s only hope—if they don’t turn on each other first.

Better than the first one October 14, 2008
Definitely the better of the two books (so far). Couldn't put it down. I admit I'm a bit miffed that I have to WAIT for the third book to see what happens! Highly recommended.
Fantastic Sequel October 13, 2008
The Magician does not disappoint as a continuation from the first book, The Alchemyst. Scott really does a remarkable job of blending history and mythology and magic all into one amazing adventure.
In this installment Sophie and Josh run into more trouble and adventure while both of their powers' grow stronger, while Nicolas and Pernelle grow weaker by the hour. I'm so looking foward to the third installment of this series!

not only for my daughter September 30, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought the first part of the series "The Alchemist" for my 13 year old daughter. We loved it so much that I have purchased "The Magician", and... hid it away from her, so I could read it first. It is a great, imaginative story with lots of twist and turns. Each chapter delivers another great adventure and ends with unexpected suspension . But - and this is why I really liked it for my daughter - all of the action discreetly TEACHES. Michael Scott is not only a great writer but also acknowledged scholar of legends, history, ancient gods and goddesses, hence all imaginative characters in the book are somehow "real". What a great way to introduce 13-year old to ancient history, religion.
And to top it all, the story is delivered without the dark gore, bloody mess and age inappropriate content. Just one may hope that Hollywood will not convert this great and captivating story into another gruesome movie...
great sequel September 30, 2008
I enjoyed this fast reading sequel as much as the first book...cant wait for the next.
