I spent a lot of time deciding whether I should read this book or not. I dont know why. Maybe the blurb didn't convince me enough. Finally, I read it. I shouldnt have doubted my better judgement, which was telling me to read it. I loved it. It had an amazing, mysterious plot and some very original characters. It left me in suspense, for this is the first book in a series of three by Django Wexler. I'm sure The Mad Apprentice, the second book, will amuse me just as much!
Alice is in her house when suddenly she hears her father arguing in the kitchen with a fairy. Four days later, her father is dead. Orphaned Alice is left to live with her creepy uncle, Geryon, whose library hides more secrets and dangers that any other.

This Magykal, thrilling book will plunge into the world of Septimus Heap so deeply that you won't be able to stop reading until you finish! The first in the seven-book series, this book by Angie Sage will take you on a wonderful journey.
This book was great, but I didn't quite like the illustrations, they ruined the picture of the characters that I had in my mind, although I think there is a version without illustrations. Otherwise, this book is beautifully written, with a fantastic plot and wonderful characters. Septimus Heap, seventh son of a seventh son, dies on the first day of his life. Meanwhile, Silas Heap, his father, finds a violet-eyed baby girl lying in the snow. The ExtraOrdinary Wizard, Marcia Overstrand, then appears, telling him to tell no one that he found the baby. Ten years later, Marcia appears at the Ramblings, the Heap's home, and tells everyone the truth about Jenna. They are no longer safe and Jenna is forced to flee to the Wizard Tower, where they find Boy 412, a Young Army boy. But DomDaniel, an evil Necromancer, has his allies on the hunt, and the Heaps must go to the Marram Marshes with Aunt Zelda to escape... A famous well-known classic, The Secret Garden is a story about how a drab, sallow-faced child can turn into a rosy-cheeked, happy girl. When Mary, an orphan, arrives at Misselthwaite Manor, everyone thinks she is as dull as one can be. But after meeting Dickon, a cheerful country lad, and discovering an overgrown garden and a mysterious cousin, Mary starts to change, both in appearance and in character. I particularly liked this story because when I read it, a strange feeling came over me, and I've been reading it ever since. This book is suitable for all ages, maybe not so much for 3-5 year olds, since it's probably a little long for them, but if you find a shorter version I would definitely recommend it to them. Personally, this is one of the best books I've ever read. Enjoy! |
