The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud

The Amulet of Samarkand is about a young 11-year-old magician whose knowledge of magic is far beyond his years. With his knowledge, he summons a magical creature, a djinni, and tells him to steal an amulet from a powerful magician named Simon Lovelace. When Lovelace finds out, though, Nathaniel is in big trouble. Between magic and fires, Nathaniel will take you through the magic of The Amulet of Samarkand.
