In this outing, Silas Heap unwittingly releases a nasty spirit when he unseals a room. The spirit of the long dead queen causes many problems culminating with Septimus travelling back through time. Great story, I'm already on to the next one. I am not sure what keeps me reading these books, because this one took me a long time to read (more than a week), but I do always want to read the next one. These books are complicated stories, with lots of Magyk in them, and a complicated family and royal structure. Jenna was part of the Heap family, and then it was discovered that she really is the Princess. Her brother Septimus, seventh son of a seventh son, in this book learns Alchemy and is taken back in time 500 years, where there is a truly terrible queen who is trying to remain queen forever. There are also complicated plots in this book, with a lot of twists and turns. One of these, a Northern Trader girl named Snorri, will feature in the next book, which centers on one of the other Heap brothers who has been stranded in time with Snorri and has no way of getting back. I bet there are seven books in this series, since it's titled Septimus. It is really popular with kids, and they don't seem to mind the length and the complication. I will keep reading the series. Septimus Heap is a apprentice magician. His sister Jenna is a princess. Their great great great great great great great grandmother, Queen Etheldredda's ghost get set free from its old sleep. Speitmus Heap gets sucked into a time or mirror and timetravels back to 500years ago. How would Jenna and her friends help to get Septimus out of that place? another very good book from this author. 0.046 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060577371, Hardcover)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.

The book has tension and poignancy, all nicely set off with the off-beat comic relief of the funny little world of Angie Sage. A delightful read. (
