Meanwhile, everything is going wrong in David's life on Earth.

But commanding a genie is notoriously tricky-especially when she's also an angry teenage girl.

This topical tale deals with contemporary adolescent issues and features an interesting character dynamic.
"I love the way the authors have given an Australian flavour to the old stories about genies and their masters. They've brought elements of the myth of Aladdin into the 21st century and set the tale in the backblocks of Western Australia. Kora and David are both strong -willed young people, and the air between them doesn't just shimmer; it crackles."
