A fresh feel to fantasy--not everything has to be dragons and elves. There is a bit of the Unfortunate Events feel to the two main characters (the twins) in that they are often more clever than the adults around them. This works though because my students all believe this to be true in most cases! I really like the way that this author develops the djinn world and brings foreign countries to life.

John and Philippa are introduced to more of the djinn society as they get to know more about djinn, and eventually the Blue Djinn of Babylon. However, things turn when Philippa is kidnapped and none but John can save her...

I enjoyed all of the Children of the Lamp books. Fun, light fantasy geared for children around age 8-mid teens. For adults, there's some good humor and a good writing style we will enjoy as well.

This was an entertaining, fast read. It had a lot of corny plays on words, but was well- written. I liked the first book better, but this was an enjoyable diversion.

Very nice continuation of the series. I really wanted to get into this one as much as Harry Potter, but it just doesn't pull me in quite the same.

This is the sequal to Children of the Lamp. I really didn't like it though, it was actually really serious. The first one was much better.

I liked this one better than the first. I felt frustrated, right along with the characters, and I was VERY ivolved in this book. Loved it!

I thought this book was ok.. You really do need to read them in order. It wasn't quite as good as the first and dragged on sometimes..

This is still an awesome series, but it just did not blow me away quite as far as the first book. I still love the series!

This dragged. The action sort of never really came. When it did, it was still slow except for one part.

The 2nd book in the series was fun like the first book. These books are fantasy and pure fun.
