power as a magical oligarchy, through the eyes of the djinni Nathaniel first summons. As the books progress, three story arcs become evident. The
largest and overarching plot line is the rise and fall of London as a world power. The second and third are more personal: the boy changing from
the pitiful, yet noble, Nathaniel, to the power-hungry, arrogant John Mandrake and finally earning back his humility and nobility; and the third,
involving Kitty and Bartimaeus. In the third story arc, Kitty proves her faith to Bartimaeus by doing something only one non-demon had ever done
(Ptolemy) when she went to the Other Place. John Mandrake (Nathaniel) also shows unusual courage and loyalty as he dismisses Bartimaeus,
when surely they were going to die, eventually saving the life of a demon. They end up restoring each other's faith in their races.

industry exists is conducted under the watchful presence of the Tripods. Lifestyle is reminiscent of the Middle Ages, but small artifacts
from the Modern Age are still used, such as watches. Humans are controlled from the age of 14 by implants called "Caps", which
suppress curiosity and creativity. Some people, whose minds are broken by the Caps, become vagrants. According to The City of Gold
and Lead, Masters begin to believe that humans should be capped at an earlier age "because some humans, in the year or two before
they are Capped, become rebellious and act against the masters."; but this cannot be done because Capping must wait until
the braincase has stopped growing.

The books are set in the far future, on a desert planet called Austar IV, which has a history and climate similar to that of Australia.
The planet was originally a place where convicts would be exiled. For many generations the outcasts had adapted to their new
environment and even formed a functioning society, focusing on a caste system of paid bonders and their owners. The amazing
feature of the planet is that it does hold life, but very little, and has one species of dragons. The humans eventually managed to tame
some of the dragons, and train them. They are bred for food and fighting. The economy on Austar is centered on "the pit" where
owners bring their dragons in to fight.

A five-year old girl, who we come to understand is Cro-Magnon, is orphaned and left homeless by an earthquake that destroys her family's
camp. She wanders aimlessly, naked and unable to feed herself, for several days. Having been attacked and nearly killed by a cave
lion and suffering from starvation, exhaustion, and infection of her wounds, she collapses, on the verge of death.
A group of people who call themselves "The Clan" and who we come to understand are Neanderthal and are looking for a new home after
the earthquake, find the child. The medicine woman of the group, Iza, asks permission from the head of the Clan, to help the ailing child,
despite the child being clearly a member of "the Others”. The child is adopted by Iza and her brother Creb. The clan call her Ayla, the
closest they can come to saying her "strange" name. After traveling with them for a while and starting to heal, Ayla wanders away from
the group, ultimately discovering a cave to use as a new home. Many of the people begin to regard Ayla as lucky, especially since good
fortune continues to come their way as she lives among them.

Faerie Wars Chronicles (Herbie Brennan)
Henry Atherton thinks his life is spinning out of control. But nothing prepares him for the invisible portal in old man Fogarty's
backyard . . . and the unexpected stranger who comes through it. Pyrgus Malvae, crown prince of the Faerie realm, is on the run.
Too many people want the rebellious young heir dead: a scheming sorcerer, a powerful demon, the malignant leader of the
Faeries of the Night, and maybe even a hidden traitor within his father's court. Henry and Pyrgus come from very different
worlds, but it may be up to Henry to save all of Faerie from being conquered by the Nightside, even if it means crossing over to a
magical realm where nothing is ever what it seems . . . and no one can be trusted.

Fifteen-year old Xander and his twelve-year-old brother David make a game of exploring the old Victorian home they move into.
One night, they discover an intruder and follow him to a hidden hallway of doors. Each door transports them to far off places in
long-ago times. But not only can they go from the house to the past, people from the past can come through into their house.
Someone does—and kidnaps Mom, taking her into some unknown place in the past. The family begins a quest for Mom, which takes
them to the most dangerous and fascinating places throughout time. Then the Kings learn a terrible secret: Their being in the house
is no accident, and they must do much more than “simply” find their mother.
