In which djinn twins John and Philippa Gaunt live in New York City and try to keep warm. Philippa enters the Djinnversoctoannular Tournament, a djinn card game where everybody talks trash to each other for fun. There they meet the Blue Djinn, the top djinn who is nether bad nor good. After Philippa is kidnapped by the Blue Djinn, John, Mr. Groanin, Mr. Rakshasas (who's in his lamp), and the dogs go to get her back. They cross a desert and John meets scary ghost men, and bronze oarsman, and grass-eating kings; will he save her in time?
It is very dramatic. You can't believe the tension you go though reading this book. Iblis makes no trouble in the book....until the end. In the back of the book there are "The Official Rules of Djinnversoctoannular" (I haven't tried playing it yet). And I love Mr. Rakshasas. I like how he looks like an Indian but speaks like a Irishman. In this book he wrote a book called "The Shorter Baghdad Rules." The other "Baghdad Rules" was getting too long apparently. I love it!
This is book two in the Children of the Lamp series.
Recommended for people who like: Djinns, brave brothers, faithful dogs, and the saying "Light my Lamp!".
