The Amulet of Samarkand

Stroud, Jonathan

The first volume in the brilliant, bestselling Bartimaeus sequence. 

When the 5,000-year-old djinni Bartimaeus is summoned by Nathaniel, a young magician’s apprentice, he expects to have to do nothing more taxing than a little levitation or a few simple illusions. But Nathaniel is a precocious talent and has something rather more dangerous in mind: revenge. Against his will, Bartimaeus is packed off to steal the powerful Amulet of Samarkand from Simon Lovelace, a master magician of unrivalled ruthlessness and ambition. Before long, both djinni and apprentice are caught up in a terrifying flood of magical intrigue, murder and rebellion. 

Set in a modern-day London controlled by magicians, this hilarious, electrifying thriller will enthral readers of all ages
