Write Up Based On Books The Akhenaten Adventure (Children of the Lamp #1)
I read this book in... 2015, I think? I don't remember a lot about it except thinking, why tf did I read this. Don't take my word for it, as I'm clearly no expert on the book, but...... Just saying. I really struggled.

The book, inspired clearly by Harry Potter if not Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson books, was ok. The two protagonists, a set of twins who discover that they are djinn with magical powers, felt cookie cutter and never really seemed to break out of the mold.To make things worse, there were a fair number of xenophobic comments spread throughout the book, the French receiving a good number of shots (hygiene being the number one thing attacked) though Egyptians were not far behind.Coming at the book

The book I am currently reading is called Children of the Lamp: The Akhenaten Adventure. By P.B. Kerr. He wrote his first story at the age of 10 called The Vanishing Airplane. So far I am only about half way through the book and so far it is really good. The book is the first of a series of 7 books written by Kerr. It is about two children named John and Philippa who live with their mother and father in the city. One day, they discover that they are magical creatures known as djinn. Throughout



I found this an entertaining, quick-to-read adventure book, and the central idea, that some people in the modern day world are djinns of the ancient legends whose task is to protect the world, is nice enough. But the plot solutions were too facile and convenient, and so it was not really as exciting and fun as it could have been. However, what bugged me the most was the attitudes the author showed, through the narrative and the attitudes of the characters, towards, well, pretty much anything

There were a lot of things I liked about this book, but also a few things I didn't like.The Good:1. The Fantasy Element - I was impressed with the djinn folklore that was used as the basis of the story. It seemed well researched and was used intelligently, and I liked the references to literature such as The Arabian Nights, and the New Oxford Book of Verse (My daughter now wants to check out those books :)2. Strong Protagonists - John and Philippa are strong, smart children who show quick

This series was highly recommended to me by a couple of my library students several years ago. It was also recommended to me by a librarian friend. So this first book in the series has been on my to-read list all that time. I probably never would have actually read it if I wasn't participating in a challenge to read ten books this year that have been on my TBR the longest. I'm glad I finally got around to reading this, and I did mostly enjoy it. But I didn't fall in love with it. I thought the
