Of course one could draw paralells between this book and Harry Potter. Rats to send verbal messages instead of owls etc. but so what? I find the book creative, cute and funny. How can you not like pens that can write in any color--if they are in good mood.Or a pet rock named Petroc Trelawney, which mostly sleeps but you need to feed it and take for a walk daily. Ingenious!! And you can write your magical ideas on anything. Even on "(preferably unbuttered) toast."Even though the point of view is omniscent, I really got to like Jenna and especially the hapless Boy 412. Enjoy!

Reviewed by Me for TeensReadToo.comIf you've been looking for a series that combines the magic of Harry Potter with the imaginative characters of Artemis Fowl, then Septimus Heap and his first book, MAGYK, is definitely the story for you. A quick, delightful read that can stand on its own, MAGYK is, without a doubt, an intriguing page-turner. Septimus Heap, the seventh son of a seventh son, died shortly after birth. Born to a family of Wizards, there's no telling what he might have become, as his lineage as a seventh son would have made him unbelievably magical. But on that winter night when Septimus died, his father, Silas, found another newborn child in the forest. They named her Jenna, and she grew up thinking that she was the daughter of Silas and Sarah Heap, and the sister of six older brothers--Simon, Sam, Edd, Erik, Nicko, and Jo-Jo. Early on, though, Sarah had her own ideas of who Jenna really was, especially when she heard the news that the Queen had been murdered. Jenna Heap was, undoubtedly, the Princess. Over the next ten years, darkness came to the Castle and the Ramblings, where the Heaps lived. With no Queen, evil came in the form of the Supreme Custodian, who along with his cohorts banned magic and ended the happiness the Queen's people had once known. As the Heap family attempt to ride out this time of darkness, the ExtraOrdinary Wizard, Marcia Overstrand, learns of the plot to kill the Princess, which will allow evil to truly take over the Palace. It seems that the only thing keeping DomDaniel, the Dark Wizard, from returning to the Castle is the presence of the Princess, and he plans to remedy that. What follows is the flight of Jenna, Nicko, the ExtraOrdinary Wizard, and a Young Army recruit known only as Boy 412 to the Marram Marshes, where Aunt Zelda Heap, a White Witch, will be able to keep them from harm. As events unfold and DomDaniel does everything within his power to track down the girl standing between him and a ruling darkness, the Heap family will have to do everything within their means to stop him--and at the same time stay alive. MAGYK is a delightful, entertaining story filled with action-adventure and fantasy. With a very large cast of characters who are as diverse as they come, this is one story not to be missed. If you like Harry Potter, you will definitely enjoy Septimus Heap. Filled with twists and turns, this is a story you'll stay up reading long into the night. And although at times predictable, you'll quickly be drawn into the life and times of the Heap family and their magical world.

En primer lugar es necesario decir que Magyk o Septimus es un libro de literatura infanto-juvenil y está escrito para ese público. Si una no tiene prejuicios con eso, puede disfrutar de una lectura entretenida.La historia gira en torno al cambio de identidad de una princesa para evitar que la asesinen los esbirros del Custodio Supremo. Para que eso no suceda, Marcia Overstrand, la Maga Extraordinaria de los Dédalos, entrega a la Princesa a los Heap, una familia de magos que acaba de perder a su séptimo hijo.Este libro es una gran introducción a todo lo que seguramente va a suceder en los siguientes tomos. Como en toda saga, aquí se presentan los personajes principales de la historia y las líneas argumentales centrales. Hay misterios que las lectoras podemos resolver a medida que avanzamos en los capítulos, pero no así las y los protagonistas. Eso me gusta porque incomoda un poco a quien lee.Me ha parecido algo extenso y con situaciones que podían resolverse en menos páginas, pero igualmente he pasado unos días amenos leyéndolo. Creo que está muy bien para un público joven que se inicia en la lectura de mundos de fantasía.Seguramente continuaré con la saga a ver por qué caminos discurre la vida de la familia Heap y del Muchacho 412.

This book was an interesting and unexpected read, I picked it up yesterday in Waterstones and started it in the car on the way home but then found myself unable to put it down and finished reading it in less than 24 hours. The most interesting thing for me was that this book is very much like a prequel book that the author doesn’t think about until after they’ve written the rest of the series but it was in fact the first book in the series. And Septimus Heap who I suspect will be the main character in the rest of the series isn’t actually known until the very last chapter.In this book there is no main character as such since it is a book with alternating POV’s but a family and group of friends who all contribute to being both main and secondary characters. So with this in mind the most noteworthy characters to me are (and there are a few); Jenna, Nicko, Boy 412, Marcia, Silas, Sarah and Zelda. Jenna is the child adopted by the Heap family at the start of the book after Silas finds her in the snow and learns of the death of his son; Jenna is raised as one of the family and only learns her true identity later on in the book. Nicko is one of the sons in the family and forgive me for not knowing the order but there are 6 of them; he is adventurous and brazen running head first into battles he cannot possibly know the scope of. Boy 412 is a character adopted by the main group and who doesn’t really fully join them until later on in the book; after being raised in the ‘child army’ he only identifies by his rank and number and doesn’t talk other than to say this. Marci is the ‘Extra-ordinary’ witch of the group; after finishing her training she achieved this rank and tries to hold it over everyone’s head thinking it makes her better than the others. Silas is the father, an ordinary wizard who dropped out of training after the birth of his sons in order to help his wife care for them. Sarah is the mother; she tries to help her children and their father in this book but ultimately struggles as they continually get away from her.The storyline is original and gripping with very likeable characters and a building sense of danger that will most probably be explored in the rest of the series. The pacing was great leading the reader on a gripping adventure all the way through and still holding back a surprise until the very last minute.5 stars a great will and this will be a series I will continue with through to the end.

I enjoyed this despite the fact that:a) It was a tad on the slow side.b) It gives a really weird introduction to the world, magyk and everything else in general. c) For the most part, nothing happens.This series is in the “what to read after Harry Potter” lists and is the principal reason why I wanted to read it. While it’s a fun book, it’s certainly nothing like Harry Potter. I felt a little underwhelmed by it all. The world of the book and the magyk in it doesn’t feel very cohesive and well-defined to me yet. The explanations came when it was convenient and only then. The characters arrive at a cottage at a certain point in the story and they remain there for like, the next 60%.I thought the characters were all adorable. The Heaps were a loveable bunch and so were Marcia and Alther and even the Boggart. The villain didn’t feel villainous to me so it was hard for me to take him and the ‘threat’ he posed seriously. What I did feel particularly interested by was Septimus’s role in all of this. I was not expecting him to be how he was. I guessed it after but did not expect it so that was new.I would like the series to mature and darken a little. Overall, I feel it’s an extremely entertaining book but it barely scratches the surface. “Let me fade into the airLet all against me know not whereLet them that seeke me pass me byLet harme not reach me from their eye”

This was the second time I've read this book! It is one of those books that get better each time you read it! I read the audiobook with my 11 year old as a mother daughter buddy read! We laughed and laughed! The end made us cry big happy tears! It's most definitely a children's book. A very simple and easy read but that doesn't make it any less of a wonderfully written story. It's up there with the greats like potter, the hobbit and all those other children's books that every child must read! We are so excited for the next one in the series!
