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.

This Series is the Next Big Thing!!! August 7, 2008
Michael Scott has done it again! Book 2 definitely doesn't disappoint. This series is posed to become the next big thing. The cast of characters and quick paced writing will not allow you to put this book down. Its a great read and if you're anything like me it will leave you craving more.
Can't wait for the 3rd book!! August 5, 2008

The 2nd book was just as good as the first. If you like this series I highly recommend.
 Good--But Could Be Better July 31, 2008

The original was better; but, this was still pretty good. It's a shame it takes so long between sequels.

Sophie, Josh, Nicholas, and Scatty retreat to Paris after the disaster on the West Coast. They arrive inside the Basilique du Sacre-Coeur. For Nicholas, he's returning home, but he hasn't been there for hundreds of years. Everything's changed.
Dr. Dee hasn't wasted any time; he immediately called for reinforcements - Machiavelli is already in Paris and waiting for them. With Sophie's newly awakened powers, they are able to escape. Nicholas leads them to the home of his old student. There, they regroup, rest, and recharge.
Once Dr. Dee arrives in Paris things begin to happen. He wants to capture the twins plus the last two pages of the codex, and he's willing to do anything to catch them.
The twins fight back, along with Nicholas, Scatty, Francis, and Joan of Arc. Together they make a stand, but is it enough to stop the powerful Magician?
Michael Scott blends mystery, fantasy, and history perfectly together into an adrenaline-filled, addicting novel.

Great Book for Lovers of Magic July 25, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The first book was great, the Magician is better. I can't wait for Book 3. I really like that most of the characters in the book can be found in Wikipedia. If you are upset like me that Harry Potter is has reached the end of his story, then these books will give you that magical fix. This is definitely one book that I will read again.
