kyms 's review for:
The Amulet of Samarkand
by Jonathan Stroud
A young boy, apprenticing to be a magician, gets ahead of himself and learns all sorts of magic before his master deems its time. Of course, there are problems with that. I did love the characters. They were fun and wonderfully self-centered. Magical creatures are like that. This is an enjoyable story.
