These three books are the story of a sarcastic djinni, Bartimaeus, a talented aspiring young wizard, Nathaniel, and their unlikely friendship. In this series, wizards make up the British government. They summon magical beings, like djinnis, to help them do their jobs more easily. The Amulet of Samarkand, The Golem's Eye, Ptolemy's Gate, and their prequel, The Ring of Solomon. Girls, don't feel intimidated by the boyish sounding plot. There's plenty girls like too!
