In this second installment in the witty, thrilling New York Times bestselling Bartimaeus trilogy, the adventures of a boy and his not-so-tame djinni continue. Perfect for fans of Artemis Fowl and Amari and the Night Brothers.
Young apprentice magician Nathaniel is working his way up the ranks of the government, when crisis hits in the form of a seemingly invulnerable clay golem making random attacks on London. Nathaniel and the all-powerful, totally irreverent djinni, Bartimaeus, must travel to Prague to discover the source of the golem's power.
In the ensuing chaos, readers will chase a dancing skeleton across London's skyline, encounter the horror of the dreaded Night Police, witness a daring kidnapping, and enter the Machiavellian world of the magician's government. Eventually, Nathaniel and Bartimaeus have to go head to head with the fearsome golem before the surprise identity of his master is finally revealed.
This extraordinary, funny, pitch-perfect thriller from the author of the Lockwood & Co. series will dazzle the myriad fans of the His Dark Materials trilogy and is on the fast track to becoming a classic.
