Michael Scott writes fantasy for young adults drawing heavily on mythology, folklore and historical figures. The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel begins with The Alchemyst, where twins Sophie and Josh Newman become caught in a conflict involving the immortal alchemist Nicholas Flamel, his wife Perenelle and the historical occultist John Dee. Across six books, the series brings together figures and creatures from Greek, Celtic, Egyptian and other traditions while moving through modern cities and ancient magical histories. The novels are fast-paced and plot-driven, with battles, magical awakenings and cliffhangers carrying the story from one volume to the next. The Alchemyst is the obvious starting point for readers who want mythological YA adventure bringing historical figures, immortal alchemists and several traditions into one fast-moving series.
