Ptolemy's Gate

Ptolemy's Gate is by Jonathan Stroud. The final book in the Bartimaeus trilogy is stunning and surprising. Three years have passed since the golem incident. The war in America is going poorly, more commoners are resistant to magyk, and rebellion is fermenting among the wizards as well. Kitty has been completing her research to try and end the cycle of conflict between humans and djinn. Nathaniel's career is increasingly imperiled and he treats Bartimaeus worse than ever. Their destinies combine once again to save London and perhaps each other. A great ending to a fascinating story arch.

Ratings: 7th grade - 9 out of 10.
