Product Description

When Silas Heap unSeals a forgotten room in the Palace, he releases the ghost of a Queen who lived five hundred years earlier. Queen Etheldredda is as awful in death as she was in life, and she's still up to no good. Her diabolical plan to give herself everlasting life requires Jenna's compliance, Septimus's disappearance, and the talents of her son, Marcellus Pye, a famous Alchemist and Physician. And if Queen Etheldredda's plot involves Jenna and Septimus, then it will surely involve Nicko, Alther Mella, Marcia Overstrand, Beetle, Stanley, Sarah, Silas, Spit Fyre, Aunt Zelda, and all of the other wacky, wonderful characters that made magyk and flyte so memorable.

With heart-stopping action and a dash of humor, Angie Sage continues the fantastical journey of Septimus Heap.

He couldn't put the series down, 2008-09-17
My son who is 11 read this series over the summer & could not put it down. It was great to see him excited about something besides gaming.

Septimus Heap, book 3.

Septimus is kidnapped by 500 year old physician Marcellus Pye and taken back in time. Marcellus needs Septimus (the seventh son of a seventh son) to help him turn his potion of everlasting life into a potion for everlasting youth.

Princess Jenna, joined by Nicko and Snorri, searches for Septimus. They are determined to bring Septimus back to his own time. Meanwhile, Queen Etheldredda, the ghost of Marcellus's mother, is released from an enchanted portrait by Silas Heap. She is determined to kill Jenna as she killed her daughters. She plans to rule the castle forever.

Through the looking glass; Physik takes Septimus beyond..., 2008-05-25
Angie Sage keeps the Septimus Heap series going strong with Physik - the third book after Magyk and Flyte. In Physik we have a complex web of plot elements (no spoilers in this review) that take the narrative deep into the history and architecture of the castle and deeper into a an increasingly sophisticated magical realm. There's more about the forms and uses of magyk in this title, and less focus on the weird creatures of this place. Nothing is lost. The central trope is magnetically compelling and there is action and danger and new fabulous characters. The Septimus Heap world keeps getting deeper and weirder with each new title in the series - yet the stories remain page turning romps that don't give kids nightmares. Sage treads the line between thrilling action and stuff that's too scary for kids with brilliant sensitivity. As an adult I don't get the feeling she's condescending - yet I have no qualms giving this to my second grader. He devours these Septimus books with gusto and is well ahead of me in the series.

If you read Magyk and Flyte you'll definitely be reading this on your way to Queste - so it's not vital that I tell you that Physik rocks. It's probably the best title in the series so far.

AWESOME!, 2008-05-18
Although I didn't like Septimus being away from Marcia, Mr. Pyke did teach him alot while Septimus was the apprentice! Great read!

Physik, 2008-03-16
This book is the reason I can't wait for Queste-the fourth book in the series.
