The Alchemyst, Michael Scott

I read this book since it is a Tupper library item and many students have withdrawn it. I liked the cover, kind of Euro old school, fantasy and what not. It was very fun, exciting, quite a good adventure, suitable for ages 10+. The concepts are simple, you know, the regular good V. evil, and guess who is winning; it is the first in a trilogy. Scott is Irish, and supposedly an expert of mythology. He incorporates many of the myths that many of us have grown up with if from a Euro lineage. There is even the Witch of Endor.
