More about the book

From the very first page, it's clear that P. B. Kerr had a blast writing this novel. The cleverly named characters, atmospheric setting, and fun narrative tone promise an entertaining story. This first installment of the Children of the Lamp series is set in the present but quickly expands to vibrant locations, including England and Egypt. Twelve-year-old twins John and Philippa Gaunt live a privileged life in Manhattan, complete with two uniquely behaved Rottweilers. Their world shifts when strange occurrences follow their wisdom teeth extraction—they share dreams, gain strength, and see wishes come true. When their estranged Uncle Nimrod invites them to England during one of these shared dreams, they embark on a journey of self-discovery. They learn they are descendants of Djinn with significant powers. However, they must harness these abilities sooner than expected, as the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten is not truly dead, and his army of magical djinn threatens to disrupt the balance of power in the magical realm. P.B. Kerr, also known as Philip Kerr, has crafted a slick fantasy adventure that is sure to captivate young readers, with the next installment, The Blue Djinn of Babylon, awaiting those who are hooked.
