The Amulet of Samarkand is by Jonathan Stroud. It is the first fantasy novel in the Bartimaeus Trilogy. Nathaniel is a magician-in-training and is apprenticed to a stodgy old magician who doesn't appreciate his talents. Nathaniel decides to summon a demon to get revenge on the ruthless magician Simon Lovelace. The demon he summons is Bartimaeus, who is quite full of himself. The story switches between Nathaniel's and Bartimaeus' point of view. It is a thrilling read and will be fun for fantasy lovers of all ages.
Ratings: 7th grade - 9 out of 10.
