Strong characters and great locations continue, including a cameo by a famous king. The humor (and even fart jokes) is a good match as well. Read aloud with my daughter, and we did *not* appreciate the frequent djinn word puns.Like the first book, this story is mythological fantasy, with magic, but set in our modern day world. This element, along with what is clearly well thought out folkore of the djinn is excellent. My only quibbles with this particular book (aside from djinntolerable puns)Cover Blurb: Yes or No?

Rarely, I get invited with Nick (my brother) whether it is golfing, swimming, or just to go over his house. I have a hard decision: either to go with Nick to go over his friends house and have fun, or go with my parents to what ever they have planned. For one
immersive as the first. only complaint- the xenophobia. we rly hate to see it
I started to read this book about 3 weeks after school started and it all happened when my teacher Mrs.Harrington said kids were going to the library. Some of the selling points were, well I like fantasy so I thought that magic people would suit my interest. I not only thought that was cool about it but I really liked the cover. With these reasons I thought how would I go wrong but boy was I wrong. There was a good share of problems with this book like, at the beginning it was long and boring
In this book, two djinn twins, John and Phillipa, have to retrieve the Solomon Grimore book, which is reported stolen. They must travel from New York to Istanbul, get on a train to Berlin to retrieve it from another young djinn. They are tricked and Phillipa is kidnapped. John and three companions must travel from Jordan to Babylon, modern day Iraq (also one of the most dangerous countries in the world), to save his sister from a terrible fate, even worse than death.In this book the characters
