When I was
growing up I always wanted to be Barbara Eden. Not only did we share the same first name but she had long blonde hair, she was beautiful and she was a Genie! (For all those younger people Barbara Eden was the star of the long-running television show “I Dream of Jeannie”). So Meredith Badger has written a book just for me! Tweenie Genie is a book aimed at young girls who, unfortunately missed out on the whole genie experience.
Many years have passed since young girls dressed up like genies but I predict that will all change with Tweenie Genie.
Poppy Miller was turning 12. Poppy was an average girl. Nothing stood out about her. She wasn’t ugly, yet she wasn’t pretty. She wasn’t smart, but she also wasn’t dumb. Poppy was average. Until her twelfth birthday when she learned she would become a genie, if she passed all her genie exams. Only very special people are selected to become genies and now Poppy Miller is not average anymore. The only problem is she cannot tell anyone about it!
Tweenie Genie is a great book with fun illustrations and interesting facts about genies. Did you know there are many forms of transport other than magic carpets, such as flying bikes (called ‘flikes’). And did you know that genies never eat their crusts!
I loved this book and hope there will be a sequel to this– this “old” genie would like a few more wishes granted! And I know many young girls who will gladly share the same genie dream.
