Do you dare to watch? CLUE #1http://www.flamels-immortal-portal.comA new year is underway and a new installment of our favorite series will be with us in May when The Necromancer gets it's release! We all love our books and the places they take us to in our imaginations! It is with that in mind that we've decided to adopt a charity for the year, we've chosen to adopt the Book Wish Foundation. Their purpose is to build libraries in the refugee camps in war torn Darfur for all the children (and adults too!) to give them a little haven away from their suffering, and to encourage and maintain literacy. There are a couple of ways you can help us support their great work: You can blog about it, Tweet about it, let all your Myspace and Facebook friends know about it and tell your friends at school about it. Every time you help spread the word it helps more people find out about them. The second way you can help is through their Buy A Brick campaign, each brick costs just $2, to do that just click on the donate a brick button located to the right, or :CLICK HERE:. You can even donate a brick in memory of someone, or to honor someone. If you'd like to honor someone, they will send the person you wish to honor an email if you provide them with the details. They need 5,000 bricks to build a library big enough to hold 5,000 books which will serve a 20,000-30,000 person camp. If you'd like to read more about the project and see other ways that you could help support their cause then go to Book Wish Foundation. You can also follow them on Twitter (@bookwish), Myspace and Facebook. If you are one of our younger members please make sure to show your parents the information if you would like to be involved!

Consultant Beth Gallaway says games are "just another format to tell a story. ... They have plot, setting and characters." Therefore, a favorite game title might help in finding a favorite book. Maybe epic fantasy or MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft or Runescape inter you. In "The Magician: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel" by Michael Scott, Dr. John Dee desperately needs the last two pages missing from the Codex to rore the Lost Elders to power. Nicholas needs the book back. His life and the world we know depend on it. Sophie and Josh were average teens just a few days ago. Now, they are "twins of legend" with special gifts. Ancient creatures, immortals and humani form alliances and fight to survive. This series won't disappoint.http://www.flamels-immortal-portal.comNicole Warburton, with the Deseret News in Salt Lake City, recently sat down for an interview with Flamel author Michael Scott. Here is an excerpt from the posting: "I was beginning to work on the story and knew I had Sophie and Josh, which were my twins," Scott said. "I had begun to put together the pieces, but really, sitting in that room in Paris (where Nicholas Flamel would have sat and walked) and afterward in the hotel, that's where I wrote the premise." http://www.flamels-immortal-portal.comEveryone at the flamels-immortal-portal team would like to extend our deep and sincere thanks to our leader and site co-owner Zephfire!
