Seph also meets ,Linda Downey, Jack Swift, Leander Hastings, Ellen Stephenson and Madison Moss an artist he is in love with.i would recomand this book mostly to people that like magical series like the harry potter books. This is a great book if you wanted to you could read the whole thing in one day. Once you get into it you just dont want to put it down. I gave the book a 5 out of 5.
