The Hilarious Djinni

   

The Amulet of Samarkand (Book 1), The Golem's Eye (Book 2), and Ptolemy's Gate (Book 3) make up the Bartimaeus Trilogy. The Ring of Solomon is its prequel. These books are written by Jonathan Stroud.

The series is about the adventures of a djinni, Bartimaeus, and his master, Nathaniel. In all of these books, they save the world from one terrible being or another. In The Ring of Solomon, we find Bartimaeus helping another character, Asmira, to assassinate King Solomon and take his ring.

I think Jonathan Stroud writes with a very good style. I finished all four books in a short period of time because Bartimaeus is very funny! I would strongly recommend these books to readers of any age.
