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

the most entertaining of the series so far November 28, 2008
_Physik_ is the most entertaining of the "Septimus Heap" series by a long shot. As Septimus is pulled back in time (no spoilers here), much is revealed about the history of the castle, the Extra-Ordinary Wizard, and of course, "physik." The panopoly of strong and well-developed characters continues, as their deep pasts are also revealed. The story moves fast (I literally read the book in a single sitting it was so engrossing), with the added sense of urgency given the distance Septimus is from his own time. Highly recommended for younger (9 - 12) readers, or for those (like me) who have been missing the magic (or "magyk" if you will) of the Harry Potter series.

He couldn't put the series down September 17, 2008
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.

Through the looking glass; Physik takes Septimus beyond... May 25, 2008
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.br /br /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! May 18, 2008
Although I didn't like Septimus being away from Marcia, Mr. Pyke did teach him alot while Septimus was the apprentice! Great read!
