I read this book in fifth grade cause it was on our reading list and we had to do a book report on it, and I aced it and still have the project lying around somewhere. It was the best book I had ever read that time and a lot of things amanda wished for, I did too at the time. My favourite parts were when her room became neat and clean, when she got that horse but was upset to find that the genie stole it from someone to get it to her, and how she became part of a native american legend for inspiration to her class assignment. Also, it was neat how amanda's mother was artistic and constantly going on about horse.
