Help and Enrichment  Suggestions for Summer Reading -- From Book 1: Nicholas Flamel appeared in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter—but did you know he really lived? And his secrets aren't safe! Discover the truth in book one of the New York Timesbestselling series the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel.    The truth: Nicholas Flamel's tomb is empty.    The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives.    Nicholas Flamel is the greatest Alchemyst to ever live. The records show that he died in 1418, but what if he's actually been making the elixir of life for centuries?     The secrets to eternal life are hidden within the book he protects—the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed, and in the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. And that's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it.      There is one hope. If the prophecy is true, Sophie and Josh Newman have the power to save everyone. Now they just have to learn to use it.   “The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel has everything you loved about Harry Potter, including magic, mystery, and a constant battle of good versus evil.”—Bustle Series: If you haven't read  the Harry Potter series,  or Percy Jackson, or Magnus Chase, or the Legend Series, or Hunger Games, or Divergent, or Uglies, Maze Runner, Matched (a community a lot like that of The Giver, but with very interesting differences), the other books related to The Giver:  Gathering Blue, Messenger, Son, or Arc of a Scythe, I Am Number Four, Among the Hidden, Diary of  a Wimpy Kid, Unwind, Everlost Trilogy, Sammy Keyes series,  (girl detective extraordinaire -- and very funny),  this could be the time. Individual Books (some have other related books): Or how about Little Women, or any of Alan Gratz's books (he wrote Refugee), The Crossover by Kwame Alexander, Wonder,  The Secret Life of Bees,  Stargirl,  Flipped,  Fever 1793,  Out of My Mind,  Al Capone Does My Shirts,  The Fourth Stall,  The Hobbit (and The Lord of the Rings series),  Savvy (three books),  Walk Two Moons,  Stand Tall,  Maniac Magee,  When You Reach Me.
