Reviews

Australian author Badger’s (Birthday Girl, 2013) second installment in her Tweenie Genie trilogy finds 12-year-old genie Poppy beginning phase two of her official training: Genie High School. Vivacious and determined to succeed, Poppy is disappointed to discover that only one of her friends is in her class and that her new student mentor doesn’t like her very much. Whimsical illustrations and periodic sidebars provide the reader with insider info on genie training, from the inner lives of flying carpets to the official genie school uniform, creating the feeling that this is both a novel and an instruction manual. Fast, breezy, and action packed, this should entertain young readers with Poppy’s struggles to find her place among her peers. Will she make it to the final stage of training, graduate, and be granted a wish of her own? Luckily, fans won’t have to wait long for the answer: Genie in Charge is being published simultaneously. Grades 2-4. --Magan Szwarek
