Now that Maeve Merrit has surrendered Mermeros, the djinni she found in a sardine can, she expects her life in London will be dull as dirt. Mermeros, however, has other plans. Maeve’s friend Tommy, a former orphan, has been adopted by Mermeros’s newest owner. When Tommy’s new father tries to use one of his wishes, he and Mermeros go missing - and without a guardian, Tommy will be forced back to the orphanage.

Maeve, Tommy, and their friend Alice embark on an adventure full of magic, danger, and flying carpetbags to rescue Tommy’s father and the djinni they’ve grown to love. But will they come to their rescue before Mermeros’ fabled wishes fall into the wrong hands?

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Often I find book two or after just isn’t as good as the first. Not so with this book. Even though it’s a book for children I enjoyed both of these books and I really enjoyed the authors narration at the end about the Crystal Palace and life back then.
Of course the narrator Jane Entwhistle has such a wonderful voice and she does it so well.
I look forward to the next book whenever that is!

Just as good as the first book!!

This second book was so different than the first, but it really grew on me more and more. The characters grew in their friendship and understanding of life. Great narration brought the characters to life, with voice changes for each personality. What a great escape into a different time and life!

More fun with these great characters

I have to admit it was a slow start but I enjoyed the mystery of it all. Just the thing to take ones thoughts from the days worries. It was great to hear of times and places that I do not know. From years before I was born to the understanding of how our present day malls and sites to see all started. I do hope that books never disappear. Thank you for this.

Wo derful make believe story.
