Mazie’s Amazing Machines should interest young inspiring inventors and engineers ! It is a fun and really smart read ! I love how the author explains the functioning of each machine at the end of the book. It is the perfect read for young dreamers who want to imagine great things !

I never had the opportunity to read The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series, so I was quite excited to discover this graphic novel adaptation of the first novel. The story was so intriguing and interesting, I really enjoyed it ! I was really impressed by the depth of the storyline, as well as the use of worldwide mythologies.

It is a thriller where the author takes her time to settle the story and the strange atmosphere. It is rapidly understood that each character has something to hide and that they don’t meet by coincidence. Hank Phillippi Ryan drops clues here and there . One character looking at another strangely makes the perfect suspect to me !
