Physik

In the third book of the "Septimus Heap" books, Septimus's father Silas accidentally releases the ghost of Queen Etheldredda. Queen Etheldredda was an evil ruler of the castle about 500 years earlier from Septimus's time.

My favorite part of the book was when Septimus and Jenna were in the wardrobe in the Queen's Room. When Jenna told Septimus into the glass I knew something major in the story was going to happen. I also knew it would have to involve Septimus, but I didn't want to believe it and when Septimus pulled into the glass it was a shock. At first I wanted to hope it was one of the characters having a nightmare but I somehow knew this was real. Septimus was pulled back into the time where Queen Etheldredda ruled the castle.

This book just barely makes it into the 5 star ratings for me. I know Angie Sage can do better.

Characterization of Septimus Heap

In the Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage the main protagonist is Septimus Heap, apprentice to the ExtraOrdinary wizard.
On page 270 Septimus believes he is finally back in his own time and races to the top of the wizard tower because he is eager to see Marcia. This shows that Marcia is an important person in Septimus's life and he cares about her.
On page 67 it shows that Septimus is very brave, curious and does not think things through completely all the time. Because even though he was told numerous times that he was to go straight back to the wizard tower and go to bed... He decided he'd try and meet Marcellus Pye at snake slipway even though Angie Sage wrote it incredibly clearly that it was a bad idea.
On page 275 it shows Septimus cares about Jenna, Alther and everybody back in his own time so much that he would lie to the last alchemist just to have time to try out a plan that has very little chance of actually helping him.
Overall Septimus Heap is a curious, caring and boy with a talent for magyk.
