Ghenni And the Djinni

Jens H. Altmann

Ghenni and her friends need to keep a magic lamp out of the hands of two wizards who want the power that comes with it.

 

When Ghenni and her friends find a wonder lamp, they have no idea what it is. Which suits Habbassin, the djinn who is trapped inside the lamp and has to obey whoever owns it, just fine. While the situation quickly gets duller than Habbassin appreciates, things change dramatically when two competing wizards arrive. Both want the lamp, and the power that comes with it. And they are willing to do anything to get it.

Thank you.

To answer your questions, since I'm implying these things rather than spell them out:

I am curious why you capitalized "The Day" and "The Growl". I presume that becomes apparant as the story moves on. [/quote]

Didn't you do that as a child? I know I did it: mentally capitalize some terms to which I ascribes special significance.

[quote]There must be a reason why Ghenni's mom was so upset about her even jesting about sacrificing Lejani. The fact that heir god growls when he is angry only adds to the interest of the story.[/quote]

Well, Mom is deeply religious. :) And yes, the growling does have significance, it has a major impact on the final chapters.

[quote]I look forward to continuing on this adventure. Habbassin has an interesting back story that promises to be thrilling.[/quote]

I think so too, re: Habbassin's backstory. :) I hope you will still think so once you've read it.

Jens,
This is a very interesting story. I like the way the reader is immediatly thrown into the story. The action is compelling and the characters well formed. I have only read the first chapter and look forward to reading more to see what happens with Ghenni and the rest of the kids at the hands of Habbassin.

The theology is interesting. There must be a reason why Ghenni's mom was so upset about her even jesting about sacrificing Lejani. The fact that heir god growls when he is angry only adds to the interest of the story.
I look forward to continuing on this adventure. Habbassin has an interesting back story that promises to be thrilling.

I wish you the very best of luck with your book,

Sharon Van Orman

I really like how you start your book with dialogue, it is well written and realistic, which propels the reader into the story immediately and keeps the pace flowing well. You have created a most memorable main character in Ghenni and all of this does ensure that your work will appeal to to the Young Adult audience. I have given you a high star rating.

Cheers,

You are totally fantastic, Jens! :) How can I ever thank you enough for backing my memoirs book? :)
God bless you. :) Love, Susie :) p.s. I just looked to see if I had ******-rated your book & I had :) - could you ****** mine, too? :) I want to ask you if you could please keep my book on your bookshelf as long as possible because I'm 12 from the editor's desk & need to be in the top 5 by the end of November :) - I had a mini-stroke last Wednesday with slurred speech for an hour & numbness of tongue still & 4 smaller ones since & I"d sure like to cross the finish line of the editor's desk after 9 months trying on authonomy. :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart :) - every ******-ing & backing moves our books closer to the editor's desk. :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me. :) I have lost 3 sisters to strokes & my last sister, Mary had 2 heart attacks earlier this year, so I'm trying to keep on & to cross the finish line of the editor's desk. :)
