Twins Josh and Sophie Newman are the 15 year old hero and heroine of this book. Both have untapped magical abilities which come into play accidently when they help Nicholas and Perry Flamel defeat a magical enemy. They are involved in a battle of good verses evil that is centuries old between the Gods. This is book 1 and it is a terrific start to the series. I really liked all the characters - even the bd guys. And the worlds created by Scott are really cool and different.

Unfortunately, this book leaves you hanging and wanting desperately to start book 2 which is The Magician to uncover the fate of these unlikely heroes.
