Poll of the Month: December to January

Magyk: Five out of five!

This wonderful first in the series introduces us to the Heaps, a large family with six sons and one daughter. There is a prophecy… “The seventh son of the seventh son shall wield the most extraordinary Magykal power.” Septimus, seventh son to Silas Heap, also the seventh son, comes at last. However, on the day the seventh son to the Heap family arrives to the world, a midwife declares him as dead. On the same day, Silas, journeying home from the Forest surrounding the Castle with herbs for his wife Sarah, discovers a dark-haired baby with violet eyes in the snow. As he enters the gates into the Castle, Marcia Overstrand, newly made ExtraOrdinary Wizard, gives vague instructions to Silas of keeping the baby and raising her as his own. Named Jenna, the baby becomes part of the family… But where is Septimus? A charismatic introduction to the fantastic world of Septimus Heap, with breath-taking moments around every corner.

“Classic – a book people praise and don’t read.”
– Mark Twain

That’s what happens – a book everybody praises but doesn’t read. Out of a million people, any could have written great, inspiring works, but only gets praised. This site is dedicated for one purpose –  let the wondrous authors who have taken us all around the world and through time be properly recognized and be praised, and the books read, of course. I hope all the readers out there can live an  even happier life reading the works that many others have praised – and read.
