It's 1952 and the Scott family has just moved from Los Angeles to London. Here, fourteen-year-old Janie meets a mysterious apothecary and his son, Benjamin Burrows - a fascinating boy who's not afraid to stand up to authority and dreams of becoming a spy. When Benjamin's father is kidnapped, Janie and Benjamin must uncover the secrets of the apothecary's sacred book, the Pharmacopoeia, in order to find him, all while keeping it out of the hands of their enemies - Russian spies in possession of nuclear weapons. Discovering and testing potions they never believed could exist, Janie and Benjamin embark on a dangerous race to save the apothecary and prevent impending disaster.
Together with Ian Schoenherr's breathtaking illustrations, this is a truly stunning package from cover to cover.

I won this book at a reading festival, and started using it a my silent reading book. The story plot is amazing and has great popups along the way. The main character faces moving to a bombed city in the 1900's where she learns a secret about an old Apothecary. If you want to find out more, READ IT YOURSELF XD
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries and fiction.This book takes place in London right after world war two.
I enjoyed this book very much, with all the adventure and excitement in every page.I would definitely recommend this book.
This book was so beyond cute and inspiring! I cried a bit at the end!!
