Review by: Franny

Tough Topic: good, evil, extraordinary
There are two twins boys name John and Philaippi, discover a djinn. They go to extraordinary places because they can grant wishes. The twins have an uncle named Nimrod he is a djinn, who will be teaching the twins the power. The characters are Nimrod, John, Philippi, Ibis, Mrs. Rashasas, and Creamy.
My favorite part is when Philippi wrote a poem to Creamy because he found out she like poems. My least favorite part Mrs. Grant help the twins check in their luggage and then scatted to the airport. The setting is in Egypt was camped in the desert twenty miles south of Cairo. Beside that there was snake, a dung beetle, a small scorpion, and in the distance, a donkey pulling a woken cart in the desert. Conflict with the twins is strong, skilled and clever enough to outwit Ibis. The resolution is yes they can outwit the evil djinn.
I recommend this book to young adults because it has adventure and excitement. The twins are 12 years old, around our age. It likes the same with us and the book because we like adventure.
I give this book a 5 because it is an interesting book. I got this book because I like reading really long books. Plus I like adventure also like romance.
