1. The Amulet of Samarkand–Jonathan Stroud

 

A fun and entertaining coming of age story as a young boy becomes apprentice to a magician. The problem is, the magician is a fool and the boy is way out of his league. Thereby hangs the tale of a stolen amulet and a summoned djinn.

This was an audio book and great fun, with a narrator who fit the position, especially as the sardonic, smartass Bartimaeus.
