SYA recommends – The Bartimaeus Triology by Jonathan Stroud

Hi there passing interweb traveller,

In a departure from the norm, I’d like to remind readers about a great series of books –  The Bartimaeus Triology by Jonathan Stroud, which is in fact a quadrilogy. These books are every bit as good as Harry Potter and in my view, better written.

    ‘What makes these books worth a read?’ I hear you cry

A wicked wit and humour running throughout

High quality…
