I beleve Mr. Flamel was also mentioned in The Mysterious Benedict Society (another fantastic kids series, if I do say so myself).

Maianhvk is right, I'm afraid. The writing is only adequate, and I just can't believe the setup. I'm half way through and I'm going to abandon it.

I think time for something I'm sure to enjoy. It's been a while since I've read it, and so since it's this month's book club book, I'll read Persuasion.
