Archie Greene and the Magician's Secret
Description
On his twelfth birthday, Archie Greene receives a present that has been waiting four hundred years to be delivered to him! The gift is an ancient tome that leads him to a family he didn't know he had and a world he never knew existed.
Soon Archie is an apprentice at the Museum of Magical Miscellany, run by the Flame Keepers, a secret group devoted to finding and preserving magical books that not only contain spells but are portals into new places and times. But his gift is something more?something more powerful than he could have imagined. And the only thing more perilous than its contents is being its owner.
The book waited four hundred years for Archie, and now Archie must discover what else?what other powers?he has inherited along with the gift.
