Love the Prague connection - it really is a magical city where myth and legend bubbles just under the surface. Walking up from the old town to the castle at dusk is a mighty eerie experience and who knew about those statues on the Charles Bridge.

Nathaniel, now a sharply dressed mid-teen, is charged with exposing the Resistants.

 

In their continuing adventures, magician's apprentice Nathaniel, now fourteen years old, and the djinni Bartimaeus travel to Prague to locate the source of a golem's power before it destroys London.
