John and Philippa Gaunt, two twelve year old not-very-identical twins, live a privileged life on the Upper East of Manhattan with their wealthy parents and two curiously-mannered Rottweiler dogs called Alan and Neil. Both children realise there’s something amiss with their world when a string of strange things begin to happen after their wisdom teeth are extracted. They dream the same dreams, become stronger, zits clear up. Wishes wished in their presence inexplicably come true. And when their estranged Uncle Nimrod asks them to come to England for the summer during one such shared dream, the discovery of their destiny is set in motion.
For they are descended from a long line of Djinn, have great inherent powers and must suddenly call upon them a lot sooner than they anticipated. The ancient Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten is not as dead as history has so far declared and his legion of seventy magical djinn could tip the balance of power in the magical realm and affect the whole world order.
P.B. Kerr, under his regular name Philip Kerr, is the author of several bestselling thrillers for adult readers. His debut novel for children is a slick, zeitgeisty fantasy adventure that is sure to win him a new raft of fans. The Blue Djinn of Babylon is next up for those who get hooked. (Age 10 and over) --John McLay
