Adults drink wine and champagne. Nathaniel, 12, gets one swig of champagne. Quick mention of a woman smoking.
Since it concerns magicians who get their powers from summoning demons and there are a lot of power-hungry magicians, expect plenty of fantasy violence. The glowing filaments in each bulb shrank and dimmed, while the candles that sprang from every available surface like a colony of toadstools had their wicks snuffed out.
Each item is meticulously selected by the owner, who is knowledgeable in the craft and eager to share their expertise with customers. The ambiance of the shop is distinctive, with dim lighting, mysterious music playing softly in the background, and the faint aroma of incense lingering in the air. The shelves are filled with books on witchcraft, folklore, and mythology, covering various traditions and practices from around the world.
The Amulet of Samarkand
Nathaniel is a 12-year-old magician in training in an alternate London where magic is real and perilous creatures and artifacts abound. Bartimaeus is a cocky, 5,000-year-old djinni whom Nathaniel summons to help him get revenge against an arrogant adult wizard. The plot involves stealing the powerful amulet of Samarkand, which Bartimaeus does, setting off a series of increasingly dangerous events. Stroud's popular prose fantasy series elevates a familiar situation with multileveled characters; sharp, evocative writing; and a fascinating setting of wizardly government that, far from being wondrous, is more often mundane or selfish. This graphic novel adaptation by Donkin and Sullivan wisely keeps all the virtues of the original, adding fantastic visuals of this complicated world and colorful characters. While sometimes the narration goes on longer than is strictly necessary when a picture is supposed to be telling a story, it's usually in the service of Stroud's lively dialogue. The comics version doesn't quite improve the tale—Sullivan's characters tend to have only a handful of expressions—but it does justice to the imaginative, engrossing original. Ages 9–12. (Oct.)
