This is the first book in the Poison Masters series. There is nothing better than a really good book to start a series. I had such an enjoyable time reading this book. It even helped me with my reading slump.

I love that Gordy is such a relatable character. He is so curious but smart as well. As this is the first book in this series, there was not a lot of details provided about BREW and all of the enemies. So, I can't wait to read the next book to get to know more about BREW. Plus, it was nice that Gordy's father was "normal". Meaning that he had brain smarts but when it came to potions the only thing that he could contribute was being a guinea pig for potions. One of the rules of BREW is to test potions on yourself before administering to others.

Gordy's friends, Max and Adeline were the type of friends you want. They had Gordy's back and were not afraid to help fight bad guys. Even if those bad guys might be a mummy. My nephews will have a blast with this book. Poison Masters: The Eternity Elixir will be sure to delight all readers! ( )
