Young Nathaniel is a magician's apprentice in an alternate London run by magicians, and he summons a sharp-tongued, sarcastic djinni called Bartimaeus. The magic is clever, the pace is quick, and Bartimaeus's cheeky footnotes will make readers laugh out loud. It's full of folklore, myth and magical objects. This is the first book in the Bartimaeus Sequence, a great pick for kids who love witty fantasy.
