Sophie and Josh are normal twins living in San Francisco when everything changes. They meet Nicholas Flamel, and they find out that they both may be in a prophecy written thousands of years ago. They must fight to stop the Dark Elders from returning to earth, but Dr. John Dee, the man they are fighting, tries to turn Josh at his weakest point to his side, and tells him that Flamel is not who he says he is. I connected to this book because I know what its like to feel left out. I give this book 4 stars because it is a good book, but it has a lot going on all at the same time.

I gave this book a 4-star rating because it wasn't the best book I've read but definitely a good one. It is about an 11-year old girl named Ellie Cruz. One day, a strange man, comes up to her door and acts strangely like her grandfather. It turns out he is! Her 77-year old grandpa is a teenager! How did this happen? Why is he here? You'll have to read the book to find out! I connect to this book because we both had multiple fish that died, but our parents didn't tell us until later.
