Doctor Illuminatus

Title: Doctor Illuminatus (The Alchemist's Son)

Author: Martin Booth

Summary: Pip and Tim move to an old English house with their parents. They discover a boy named Sebastian living in the walls of their house who has been asleep for 600 years. Sebastian's father was an alchemist and Sebastian has a potion that has allowed him to stay alive while he slumbers so that he can awake and fight his father's enemy who is plotting evil in the present day.

Recommendation: Interesting premise but terribly written and terrible ending. The kid's don't talk like kids would and the plot just didn't flow very well.

Hearts: 1
