Great Books!












If you like wizards, spell charms, and adventure, you'll love “Magyk” written by Angie Sage. By the time I reached the 5th chapter I realized I had fallen in love with it. If was a critic (and this is my attempt at being a critic) I would give it a 5-star rating.
Its about a family named the Heap's who had seven children – well really only six since the seventh was supposedly “dead”. His name is Septimus Heap and as the 7th son of a 7th son he possesses great magical powers. When Septimus disappears, his father Silas finds a baby girl in the snow and he and his wife Sarah decide to raise her as their own. They named her Jenna after Silas' mother. On the day of her 10th birthday the extraordinary wizard Marcia Overstrand tells her that she is the queen's daughter and has to make her way to safety before the assassin finds her.
Characters in “Magyk” are describe well. For example, Ms. Sage describes Jenna as a tall ten year old with violet eyes and dark brown hair. The main characters of this book are Jenna (the queen's daughter), Silas, Marcia and Boy 412 of the young army who protects and saves Jenna.
This book is special because the reader can empathize with the characters as though you are one of them. This book is good for all ages to enjoy. So if you like adventure, spell charms, and wizards, you should read this book because you will definitely like it. If you want to know more go to http://www.septimusheap.com
