(4) YA Nicholas Flamel is a fourteenth-century alchemist posing as a modern-day San Francisco bookseller. When a magical book is stolen, he--with the help of his wife, a set of teenage twins, and various gods--must retrieve it. The many point-of-view switches are confusingly dizzying, but readers will be dazzled by the action scenes and cliffhanger ending.
