The Golem’s Eye is the second title in the New York Times bestselling Bartimaeus series by Jonathan Stroud - now in a spellbinding new cover look!

Two years have passed since the events surrounding the Amulet of Samarkand, and the young magician Nathaniel is rising fast through the ranks of London’s elite magical government.

But his career is suddenly threatened by a dangerous golem making random attacks on London, and Nathaniel is forced on a perilous quest to save his reputation and the city. When he finds his life in danger he has no choice but to call upon the troublesome 5,000 year old djinni, Bartimaeus, to do his magical bidding once more . . .
Set in an alternate London controlled by magicians, this hilarious and electrifying New York Times bestselling series will enthral readers of all ages.

Fresh, witty and wise, this novel is a worthy sequel to The Amulet of Samarkand – Times Educational Supplement

Readers can rest easy: this sequel is no pale imitation of its predecessor. Fast paced, frightening and funny, and you don't want it to end – The Bookseller
