Conclusion

Four Words

Something I noticed about the writing was that the author included a part at the beginning that had nothing to do with the book, but provided some background information for later in the book.

Something I noticed about the illustrations were that all the illustrations were the same- they were all a lamp, but each lamp was a little different- they illustrated the process of a djinn's transubstantiation.

This book reminded me of the Harry Potter series. They both use "magic" to make things disappear and appear.

My connection with the story is a text-to-text connection. This book is a lot like another book I've read called Stella's Aunts. In both books, the characters go around on an adventure that could

affect the world. In both books, an antagonist

tries to stop them, and the protagonists

overthrow the antagonist.

The Akhenaten Adventure was written and illustrated by P.B. Kerr.

Summary

I would recommend this book to my friend, Julia, because Julia loves fantasy and fiction. This book is full of fantasy, adventure, and fiction, because the main characters-John and Phillipa-are genies, or what they would call themselves: djinn. Djinn are capable of granting three wishes, and are capable of being trapped in a bottle or lamp. But there are also good djinn and evil djinn-and they compete to have the most power over people-since they control good luck and bad luck. I also recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy and adventure.

The summary of this book is that there are two twins-John and Phillipa-and they are genies, but they call themselves djinn. They are able to make anything to disappear or appear at will, and are able to influence good luck over themselves and others, but each attempt takes a little bit of time off their lifetime. There are six tribes of djinn, three good, and three evil. John and Phillipa are from the Marid tribe-the most powerful tribe of djinn on the good side. They are sent to England to train with their Uncle Nimrod, who is an expert djinn. They set out to find the 70 lost djinn. Whichever side finds them first, will tip the balance power between the good side and the evil side. A djinn from the evil side, from the Itfrit tribe named Iblis tries to stop them. John, Phillipa, and Nimrod stop him and bottle him up. Finally, they find the lost djinn, but a ghost named Akhenaten, the most evil djinn of all time, tries to stop them, and captures their Uncle Nimrod, along with a lot of other ghosts,(baboon, crocodile, monkey, etc.) but the 70 lost djinn John and Phillipa had released bottled up Akhenaten. Unfortunately, they also bottled up Nimrod, too, but they could not open the jar without also releasing Akhenaten. Djinn blood slows down if it's in cold weather, so John and Phillipa travel to the North Pole. After a day, they make their transubstantiation into the jar. Both Nimrod and Akhenaten are frozen, and they bring Nimrod out. Akhenaten almost escapes, but John traps him just as

he tries to escape.
