About this title

Review:

The Third Class Genie should be in the pocket of every young reader. A splendid yarn.”
Growing Point

From the Back Cover:

Disasters were leading two-nil on Alec's disaster-triumph scorecard when he slipped into the vacant factory lot with Ginger Wallace hot on his heels, ready to destroy him. There was a catastrophe awaiting him at home too, and of course school was yet another disaster area.
But his luck seemed to be changing when he discovered a sealed beer can that was obviously empty. Stranger still, when he held it up to his ear, he could hear faint snoring . . .

'"The Third-Class Genie' should be in the pocket of every young reader. A splendid yarn."
