ABANDONED. Kids learn to be a genie

[Fahim]

*Spoilers* A couple kids try to make themselves genies from a genie they found. The genie that helps them was once with a lot of other genies and they had all given the king gifts and his gift was to make everything he touches gold. This made him get banished. This was a single book and not a series I think. One of the things the kids did as a genie was to ask for endless amounts of chocolate and the other kid made it different chocolate each time. Another thing was they had asked for x-ray vision and gradually he kept seeing through more things until he saw bones. In the end the genie that was teaching them had to leave them.

Not your book - but in the theme; _Wishing Season_ (recommended)

Also, you might want to update your subject line to be more descriptive; "Kids learn to become Genies from found Genie."?

Reminds me of this episode of the New Twilight Zone
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lepr...

which was based on a story by James Crocker.

This may not be what your looking for as this book is a series about twins boy/girl that learn to be genies by their uncle Nimrod.The Akhenaten Adventure

Hmm, the wikipedia page doesn't include any information on which Crocker story that is.

Soooo, what's the name of the Crocker story? :D
