Jonathan Stroud
Jonathan Stroud — 6 titles in the rankings, first published between 2003 and 2014. They average 8.1, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. 2 of the series have a reading order worth keeping to.
Editor’s note Two excellent series for young readers. The Bartimaeus books, set in a London ruled by magicians, are narrated in part by a sarcastic, footnote-loving djinni; start with The Amulet of Samarkand, the most read, and the trilogy rises to Ptolemy’s Gate, his highest rated. Lockwood & Co., about a ghost-hunting agency run by teenagers, starts with The Screaming Staircase and rates almost as highly.
