Poor Nathaniel gets an unexpected set of adventures, when he sets out to find a way to gain some power of his own, and to get some of his own back on Simon Lovelace, a magician-cohort of his teacher and Master. Simon mocked Nathaniel, made a laughing-stock of an 11 year old boy, for no reason beyond just being cruel. But Nathaniel will get even. Oh, yes, he will! Learning magic well beyond his apprentice level, he manages to summon the djinn, Bartimaeus, and controls him so that he and Nathaniel can steal the "Amulet of Samarkand" hidden secretly in Simon's well-protected demesne. Then all hell breaks loose!!
