Publisher Description
Best-selling author P.B. Kerr wowed readers with The Akhenaten Adventure, the first entry in his critically acclaimed Children of the Lamp fantasy series. In this thrilling sequel, twins John and Philippa Gaunt-descendants of a long line of djinn-face the evil and terrifying Blue Djinn of Babylon. The Solomon Grimoire-a powerful book of magic-has gone missing. When John and Philippa are chosen to retrieve it, their quest sends them trotting across the globe. But what they don't know is they are being lured into a trap by the Blue Djinn. When Philippa falls right into the trap, John must embark on a perilous adventure to save his sister. With this second effort, Kerr has established the Children of the Lamp series as a masterful saga that deserves consideration alongside the classics of fantasy fiction. Narrator Ron Keith brings Kerr's wondrous world to full and glorious life with his dynamic performance.

"A very good book. I read it a while ago, but from what I remember it was very satisfying.Although, there were many parts in all of the series where the dialogue just sounded obviously fake. I didn't like that. Maybe this was a 3.5 star.... "

" About the same as the first--enjoyable story, author clearly hasn't planned the story out in advance (I wonder if 12 year olds notice how random it gets at times), good wins in the end, with the bad guy escaping so there can be another book in the series. "
— Sarah, 3/3/2011 -

" Fantastic second book: the characters are just as enjoyable as in the first, the action keeps on coming, & the plot line moves forward in a way that promises good, exciting things to come. "
— Brett, 9/1/2010 -
" Another fun read, for the most part. There were some parts that were pretty fantastical, even for a fantasy book. I'm still interested to see how the third book in the series turns out, but I didn't like this one as well as the first. "
