This book had me captivated from the first page! Wonderful coming of age novel! You will enjoy every second of Bax, his friends and their Janni (Genie)! The enchanting word play and vivid sensory details like “ bleach and fried-chicken air” that Sullivan uses, easily transport you into their world and for me made me remember things about High School I’ve long forgotten. The characters were so fun to get to know, Janni is so unique and adorable that he just melted my heart and also made me laugh. It also has the perfect amount of mystery and suspense to keep you guessing and itching to know more about Bax and the Djinn’s. Overall this book has everything you could ask for: a great story, enchanting characters, fantastical events, thrilling suspense, and a memorable moral. I can’t wait to read more of J.L Sullivan’s work. This has been one of the best books I have read in a while. Thank you!
