Product Description

There's trouble at the Castle, and it's all because Merrin Meredith has returned with Darke plans for Septimus. More trouble awaits Septimus and Jenna in the form of Tertius Fume, the ghost of the very first Chief Hermetic Scribe, who is determined to send Septimus on a deadly Queste. But Septimus and Jenna have other plans—they are headed for the mysterious House of Foryx, a place where all Time meets and the place where they fervently hope they will be able to find Nicko and Snorri, who were trapped back in time in physik. But how will Septimus escape the Queste?

Queste, like all the books in the Septimus Heap series, is filled with nonstop action, humor, and fantastical adventure as Septimus continues his journey of Magykal self-discovery.

I think that this is an amazing book,I thik its cool that the girls name is Jenna and so is mine.Angie Sage is not only an amazing writer,she has amazing story ideas.I enjoyed Harry Potter a lot so I disided to give this a shot.The 2an to 4th were really good but my favoret had to the 1st.
this is a great book I hope you enjoy

Every volume is better than the last
The story of Septimus Heap, his friends and family grows more intricate and surprising with every volume. If you liked the first one read the second and third. Then pick up the fourth. Angie Sage gets better with every novel. There's a bonus for the kiddies too. The hard new, hared cover editions come with a mini disk for the computer. The disk contains fun Septimus Heap games, facts and free printable trading cards. Ofcourse this is a kids book but I'm 30yrs and I can't wait for the fifth volume to come out!

Parents will like it too!
My son has over 150 books and he hasn't started school yet. He loves to be read to. I bought this series thinking it would keep him entertained for a while, but soon found myself reading ahead. Not just another Harry Potter knock off. They may be a little predictable, but are a lot of fun and family safe.
