“Funny, fantastic, and adventurous.” —Samantha Bee, host ofFull Frontal with Samantha Bee

" An outlandish take on the traditional genie-in-the-lamp tale, this humorous fantasy will appeal to middle graders and young teens." —SLJ

"...the quick pacing, playful narration, and high stakes are plenty to keep reluctant readers and young fantasy fans engaged." —Booklist

"Rubens, a veteran writer and producer of late-night comedy, revels in parody, wordplay, and spoofy send-ups of Harry Potter-ish antics, with flecks of Lemony Snicket for good measure. He shows great affection for librarians, annoying siblings, things that kids intuitively know, and dogs, doggs and dogggs... Abrakadonculous! Especially good fun for a rainy afternoon or a not-too-groggy sick day."—Kirkus
