Die Geheimnisse des Nicholas Flamel. Der unsterbliche Alchem

A mysterious book, an unrecognized magician, an adventurous race against time. San Francisco 2007. In broad daylight, at Nick Fleming's bookstore, Sophie and Josh can hardly believe their eyes. A stranger attacks the bookstore owner Fleming with pure magic and escapes with an ancient book. What the twins learn next is unbelievable: Nick Fleming is none other than the famous alchemist Nicholas Flamel, born over 670 years ago. In an old spellbook, the legendary Codex, he discovered the secret of eternal life. And it is this very book that the stranger has stolen. The forces of evil have been trying for centuries to seize the Codex, for with it alone they could regain control over the world. Nicholas Flamel, Josh, and Sophie have exactly one month to retrieve the spellbook. An exhilarating race against time begins.
