The new graphic novel version of “The Alchemyst – The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel” by Michael Scott is adapted by Nicole Andelfinger and illustrated by Chris Chalik. Twins Sophie and Josh discover that magic is real and that Josh’s bookseller boss is actually the immortal Nicholas Flamel. When a magical book is stolen, the twins must face danger to get it back and save the world. This adaptation of the bestselling young adult fiction series may satisfy fans of the original. The storyline is very close to the original book. Artwork seems a bit stilted and some of the word bubble lettering is very tough to read, but the plot is engaging. Written for ages 12-14, this book is recommended for large YA graphic novel collections where fantasy is popular.
