Septimus Heap, Book One: Magyk (Septimus Heap, 1)

British author Angie Sage's incredibly popular fantasy novels have been compared to the Harry Potter series. She begins an enchanting trilogy with Magyk. Septimus Heap is the seventh son of a seventh son, but his family believes he died the day he was born because he was whisked away by the midwife. This is the same day his father, Silas, returns home with an abandoned infant girl he found in the woods. The true story of Septimus is clouded by wizardry and magyk-but his destiny cannot be denied.
