With the help of his cousins, Bramble and Thistle, Archie tries to unravel the mystery behind his book, but he begins to realize that his gift is something more powerful than he could have imagined.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

D. D. Everest is a successful journalist and author. He thought he knew how to write books until he started this one. It is his first book for children and nearly killed him, which serves him right.

He lives in a rambling Victorian house on the Ashdown Forest, in England, with his partner, Sara, their son and daughter, and two cats.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

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.
