The Alchemyst by Michael Scott
4.0

I don’t know how this series escaped me in the past! I found it while browsing Libby recommendations for a new book. It’s a plot-driven YA fantasy based on the legends surrounding Nicholas Flamel and his wife Perenelle song with Dr. John Dee, who are all historical figures. The world building includes elements of myths, legends, and history to weave an action-packed tale set in modern San Francisco. I’ll continue to read the rest of the 6-part series.
