Another Eddy Stone adventure (It’s a series of books around the same protagonist), that takes you to the land where the Emperor is a crack-pot and his genie does all the making-citizens-happy business.
The story starts with Eddy accidentally releases a cursed wizard from an antique flower vase and the wishes of all the people in Tidemark Bay starts coming true. But it also brings chaos and Eddy is determined to sort it all out.
Along with his friend, Hen and multiple other extremely amusing characters Eddy embarks on a journey to the land of the Genie who cursed the wizard. But the whole process is full of dangerous games and paths and Eddy and Hen prove themselves to be quite smart.
The writing is smart, not very childish and the illustrations form a strong backbone. The characters range from smart, talented people to utterly foolish individuals, each contributing significantly to the plot.
Overall, the adventure was really great, with imaginary creatures and lands, and the anticipation to know what happens next stayed till the end. Thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Great storytelling from Simon Cherry. Full of fun, laughs and a dancing camel (read on and all will be semi-explained).
Eddy never fails to have a rollicking adventure. This time he slips into a desert city with genies and emperors and, well, camels of course. He must break the curse on Tidemark Bay which happens to be the funniest curse I've ever read! He enlists the help of a bunch of hysterical characters including a camel that, at the clack of a castanet, enters a state of uncontrollable dancing. (The drawings to accompany this are priceless).
If I had creative control over the title I think I would have gone with - 'Eddy Stone and the Super Hilarious Upside Down Back to Front Roll on the Floor Laughing But Somewhat Inconvenient for Eddy and his Friends Genie's Curse'. Probably best I didn't have a say in it as that title would never fit on the front cover.
Thoroughly recommend the series! Long may they continue.
