I’ve always been intrigued by the cover of Magyk by Angie Sage, but, I’ll be shamefully honest here, the length of the book has been a turn off. I love to read, but I’m like a kid – thick books intimidate me! A fifth grade girl recommended Magyk to me a couple weeks ago, so I finally read it and boy am I glad I did. The first chapter hooks you right in and the action never stops.
The story is about Septimus Heap – the 7th son of the 7th son in a family of wizards. A midwife declares Septimus dead when he is only hours old and whisks him away. Meanwhile, Silas Heap (the father of Septimus) finds an infant baby girl in the snow and brings her home. They mourn the loss of their son and raise the girl as their own. But what really happened to Septimus and who is the girl they now call Jenna? The story is a magykal journey of good versus evil. When you reach the end, all the way down on page 608, you’ll be happy to find out there are 4 more books in the series: Flyte, Physik, Queste, Syren.
