Septimus Heap, the seventh son of the seventh son, disappears the night he is born, pronounced dead by the midwife. That same night, the baby's father, Silas Heap, comes across an abandoned child in the snow—a newborn girl with violet eyes. Who is this mysterious baby girl, and what really happened to the Heaps' beloved son Septimus?

The first book in this enthralling series by Angie Sage leads readers on a fantastic journey filled with quirky characters and Magykal charms, potions, and spells. Magyk is the original story of lost and rediscovered identities, rich with humor and heart.

I downloaded this book for my 9 year-old son and 11 year-old daughter, both Harry P fans. Charlie really rated this book, humorous and exciting. The look of total concentration and the annoyance at the end of a journey at the CD being switched off said it all! Kate enjoyed it too, possibly with a little less enthusiasm, but gobbled up quickly for all that, which is usually an indication of a good story! She praised both the plot and characters and both kids enjoyed the narration.

A bargain....

I downloaded magyk because i liked the look of the title and i am so glad i did! My dad set up audible for me and it gave me the series of septimus heap. I listen to stories at night when i go to sleep and the septimus heaps are the books i listen to most. They are funny, action packed and i love listening to them at aged 19

Septimus Heap - Brilliant!

I really love this series of books. It's a great mix of fantasy with humour. The plots are creative and unpredictable - one does live in hope that the good will end well, but it is far from obvious how they will get there. I think Angie Sage has done a brilliant job of carving out a unique inch in a crowded market of the fantasy/ magic genre.
Magyk is a great start to the series. It is full of suspense and little funny details. I especially liked the character of Septimus and the way he is gradually revealed, but all the characters are interesting.
The reader for this is good - nice to listen to, good differentiation of characters.

Funny and unpredictable

I really enjoyed the narrator. Very good reading and intonations and all. The idea of the adventure is good, I generally tend to enjoy stories about magic , however the story itself and the plot seems to be a bit too simplistic and a bit far-fetched.

Good idea
