The Alchemist's Son: Doctor Illuminatus

The Alchemist's Son: Doctor Illuminatus is by Martin Booth. This is the first book in a trilogy called The Alchemist's Son. Pip & Tim move into their new English country estate and discover Sebastian. He says he is the son of a famous alchemist and has been "sleeping" for several centuries. He only wakes when the evil alchemist de Loudeac is about to try another scheme to take over the world. He is awake now because de Loudeac has returned. Can three children save the world from the evil de Ludeac? This is a great story. It combines action and lots of historical information as well. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Ratings: 7th grade - 10 out of 10.
