The premise sounds like The Bartimaeus Trilogy. I've only read the first book though.

Yeah. that's it! Thanks!
Fantasy young-adult novel series about an apprentice magician who is usually ignored by his mentor. In order to prove his worth, he summons a daemon without his permission, and through a strange series of events, manages to bind it (and be bound) into service for a series of wacky misadventures.
