“Emma and her dog, Tristan, steal
down to the moonlit sea for some quiet time and find a mysterious bottle
bobbing on the waves; inside, of course, is a genie…With tight word counts,
restrictive vocabulary, and language parameters, chapter books rely on their
audience to fill in details from shared cultural assumptions. In an
increasingly diverse society, notions of what is normal and what is exotic to
readers call for frequent reassessment. Training wheels for Funke’s future
fans.”
