Wishful Thinking (Sophie's Mixed-Up Magic #1)
by
Amanda Ashby (Goodreads Author)
After Sophie accidentally gets herself turned into a djinn, she starts to think that it might not be so bad after all. (Of course, that's after she gets the whole orange skin problem sorted out.) Who wouldn't enjoy having the power to grant wishes But when Sophie develops RWD (Random Wish Disorder) and can't STOP granting wishes, things get more than a little mixed-up

I love Amanda Ashby's books. They are always so much fun and have a great story to tell. Wishful Thinking is no different. Sophie is a super fun main character who I am excited to follow throughout the rest of the trilogy.
I love the liberties Amanda Ashby has taken with the traditional djinn tale. Whenever most people think genie or djinn, it is the traditional 3 wishes and a magic lamp, but Sophie quickly discovers this is not the case with the djinns in her world and her world is turned upside...more

"Sophie's Mixed Up Magic" by Amanda Ashby is the perfect read for young lovers of fantasy books. Similar to the "Princess for Hire" series by Lindsey Leavitt, this is a charming story of a young girl who inadvertently lets a genie out of a bottle.
What happens next is told with an eye to the humorous, but young readers may feel empathy for this new middle schooler who is trying to fit in. Of course, having orange skin (courtesy of the djinn (genie), doesn't really help one fit in.

I think there is a reason there are not a lot of reviews for this book on Goodreads: most of the people who would like reading this book are to young to be allowed on social networking sites.
Honestly I am finding the book a bit of a trudge, I think it is mostly because the book is written for older elementary children, I think 3rd through 6th graders would really like this book.
If you have an 8, 9, 10, 11 year old at home who likes to read, give them this book. They will probably eat it up.

Sophie is 11 and just starting middle school. She accidentally frees a djinn and instead of being offered three wishes, she's tricked into becoming a djinn. Now her djinn, Malik, is teaching her the ropes. Meanwhile, Sophie's navigating middle school and has a crush on a cute 7th grader named Jonathan.
Cute book - started off slow but progressed fast. The second one Under a Spell, is even better and I'm excited to read Out of Sight.
