Septimus Heap: Magyck

Reader reviewed by Selina

When a child dies at such a young age, it's no wonder that when the husband finds a new baby to replace the first, the mother will always (if grudgingly) accept it as her own. This is what happend to Semptimus Heap, or so was thought. A new born baby lying in the snow. No mom, no dad, and no family. Naturally Mr. Heap toook the child home to his wife. Earlier Mrs. Heap's seventh son had passed, and she felt a bond towards the new daughter, the only other girl in the family. She was named jenna Heap (as far as I can remember, I haven't read this in a while) and was loved and teated with care. But when p[eople start trying to assasinat the young girl, the Heap's are on the run, and they meet some unexpected people when they do. Funny, with a touch of heart stopping endeavor in the plot to kill the last heir to the throne. A MUST read.

Septimus is the seventh son of a seventh son of Silas and Sarah Heap, and he is stolen away the night he is born. Coincidentally, Silas brings home a cute, violet-eyed baby girl that he found out in the woods alone the same night.

Things are pretty peaceful until about 10 years have passed and evil thugs who murdered the queen dominated the castle figure out that the Heap's "child", Jenna, is none other than the Queen's missing daughter. This is the cue that begins a pursuit to freedom from DomDaniel, the evil old ExtraOrdinary Wizard and his two minions the Hunter and the Apprentice. Now they can trust no one except for close realations.
