The Alchemyst by Michael Scott

4.0

Enjoyed listening to Scott's tale of an ancient alchemyst who knows the secret elixir to staying young, and stays alive protecting the ancient Book of Abraham with the recipe from getting into the clutches of ancient evil beings. Only the book has just been stolen by one of the evil ones henchman. Caught up in the chase are fifteen-year-old twins Josh and Sophie, who happen to be in the ancient book as wll.

What was fun for me to learn was, there really was a Nicholas Flamel (Harry Potter afficionados will also recognize the name). So, you can google characters both real and mythological, but maybe not while you are reading it because the action is non-stop.
