Kaye Umansky has an adorably irreverent sense of humour. This book is incredibly easy to read and full of such wit and fun that anyone of any age should enjoy it. The characters and dialouge are hilarious with several laugh-out-loud moments for adults as well as children. Kaye Umansky uses uncomplicated (but never patronising) language - often to great effect in comedic scenes - creating irresistably funny images that you can't help but laugh at. Her imagination and sense of humour combine to create a deliciously humourous backdrop (where genies are dodgy flash-in-the-pan salesmen, wizards are pompous and snooty and ranked according to the length of their beards) A fantastically funny and enjoyable read for anyone. Adults will find light entertainment in it, while children will simply love the outrageous characters and quirky story.
