Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

John and Philippa Gaunt, twelve-year-old twins who have recently discovered themselves to be descended from a long line of djinn and in possession of magical powers, continue on their extraordinary adventures in this sequel to The Akhenaten Adventure.

When a powerful book of djinn magic goes missing, John and Philippa are called upon to retrieve it. Only, the book isn't really missing. The trap was set and Philippa is abducted by the Blue Djinn. In this latest installment of the twins' magical adventures, John and his uncle Nimrod must find Philippa before it's too late.

Review:

"Solidly entertaining despite jokes that try a little too hard." Kirkus Reviews

Review:

"This sequel to The Akhenaten Adventure stands completely on its own....This wild ride has suspense and action, exotic locations, magic, and evil villains — all of the elements necessary for a good fantasy adventure." School Library Journal

Review:

"Featuring adolescents initiated into a magical society invisible to unwitting 'mundanes,' the Children of the Lamp series nods vigorously to Harry Potter. The difference from many of its competitors, though, is the finesse with which it does so..." Booklist

Review:

"The story gets off to a slow start, but the humor is just right, the captivating world of the djinn is faultlessly depicted and expanded, and Kerr balances the resolution with enough uncertainties to draw readers back for the next installment." VOYA
