The Amulet of Samarkand
Reviewer's Name :
Alison C. Looking for an audiobook the whole family can enjoy on a long car trip? Here's your answer-- ages 9 and up will enjoy this original, exciting and complex tale of magic, politics, revenge and snarky humour. Simon Jones is spot-on in bringing the sarcastic and cynical djinn to life and his brilliant narration will pull you right in and get you through any border line-up or across several provinces.
This is the first in the Bartimaeus Trilogy, and you'll want to follow up with The Golem's Eye and Ptolemy's Gate as soon as you finish with The Amulet of Samarkand.
