Book Review
By Ben Fox
The book I am going to be reviewing this
issue is the Septimus Heap series. It is a
contender with the Harry Potter series and
filled with plot twists, magyk (how spelled
in book), and ghosts, among other things. I
am thoroughly enjoying this series and
advise you to go get it from the library.
