The Amulet of Samarkand: A Bartimaeus Graphic Novel

(3) YA Illustrated by Lee Sullivan. Color by Nicolas Cahpuis. The story follows magician's apprentice Nathaniel and his unwilling djinni as they try to stop an overthrow of magician-run Parliament. This dramatically illustrated graphic novel version suffers a little from the loss of Bartimaeus's flippant footnotes--a prominent comic device in the novel--but the smart-aleck djinni still gets in plenty of cracks.
