It's 1952 and fourteen-year-old Janie Scott's parents have just been accused of belonging to the Communist party.
Sinopsis
Rather than risk having to testify against their friends, the Scotts move from California to London. Here, Janie meets a mysterious apothecary and his son, Benjamin Burrows - who dreams of becoming a spy.
When Benjamin's father is kidnapped he entrusts Janie and Benjamin with his sacred book, The Pharmacopoeia. Now the two friends must uncover the book's secrets 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 apothecary potions they never believed could exist, Janie and Benjamin drink truth serum, become invisible, and even transform into birds, all while in a dangerous race to prevent Russia from testing its nuclear weapons.
