The book is the best in the series! It often encourages you to google the gods so you understand the story. If you liked Percy Jackson, 39 clues and the Pendragon series then you just love this book! The reason the title of the book is called The Necromancer is because of a major turning point in the main charters lives. If you dislike the book because of the Title then you are MISSING OUT on one of the BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR.
ideal summer reading! great book for tweens, teens and adults!
When my thirteen year old couldn't stop talking about this book, my nine year old read it and was equally enthusiastic. It's hard to find a book which appeals to both boys and girls and Michael Scott's Necromancer certainly did the trick. The exciting book follows twins Sophie and Josh on a twisting tale of adventure and , frankly, I loved it as well...and I'm in my late thirties! This book is great for kids because it features strong heroines and heroes who take their audience on a masterful ride.
My children LOVE this book by Michael Scott. It is HIGHLY educational in the sense that Scott uses real life characters from history (Shakespeare, Billy the Kid) and beautifully integrates them into the compelling story. There is adventure, all of the female characters are empowered and both my son and my daughter devoured all four of the books in the series thus far... a MUST READ
THIS IS AWESOME! The series is great for preteens. Its really
not that bad. Its just that the violence is a little iffy but thats it.
Its a great book and if you have not heard of it read the first book
NOW!
I enjoyed this one but not as much as the others. I extremely disliked what happened at the end of the book. I felt that that was a bad ending and made Josh seem like an idiot. I feel that this is good for ages 10 and up as some of the characters are almost killed, one main character is dead. (I think so at least, but other characters have come back from seeming dead.)
