Shed Khadid and the Alchemists of Alexandria

You are an alchemist, Shed!
 
Twelve-year-old Shed Khadid learned this by chance. After all, not every day do you hide in an alley from bullies, finding yourself in a place with a terrible shadow. Fortunately, a powerful alchemist saved the boy,... but even he was astonished. How did Shed manage to pass through the magical protection and even use a repelling spell?! Thus, the boy became the apprentice of the alchemist.
 
Three months later, Shed received an invitation to the best magic academy. Upon arrival, the boy was bewildered: the teachers and students were convinced that they were in an ordinary school, and discussions about alchemy were forgotten by the next day. Shed is the last one who remembers the truth. The last hope against an invisible enemy that erases the very memory of magic. But will he be able to single-handedly uncover the conspiracy and restore the former glory of the academy of alchemy?
 
A magical tale with Arab flavor will make a great gift for a fan of Harry Potter aged 10-13 years.
