The Barimaeus Trilogy

In a land controlled by wizards, something is amiss. After being humiliated in public by a wizard named Lovelace, Nathaniel,an eleven year old boy apprentice, seeks revenge. Speeding up his education, he summons the five thousand year old demon Bartimaeus to do his deeds. After sending the demon out to steel an amulet from the Lovelace he soon finds himself caught up in something more deadly. An action packed book, the first in the Bartimaeus Trilogy. I would rate this book 8.7 out of ten.
