More About This Book

Overview

Another highly imaginative and magical story in bestselling author P. B. Kerr's Children of the Lamp series is now in paperback!

In their latest adventure, John and Philippa Gaunt find themselves tangled up in a spellbinding mystery that takes them deep into the heart of the Amazon jungle in book five of the NY TIMES bestselling Children of the Lamp series. When a collection of Incan artifacts goes missing, the Blue Djinn of Babylon dispatches the twins and Uncle Nimrod to recover them. Along the way, though, John and Philippa encounter their friend Dybbuk, who was drained of his djinn powers but is determined to get them back.

Editorial Reviews

VOYA
Kerr's action-packed fifth entry in the Children of the Lamp series hurtles twins John and Philippa Gaunt into a typical assortment of adventures and tribulations - typical for teenagers whose Djinn ancestry confers on them the ability to grant wishes and perform other supernatural feats. This time, nothing less than the fate of the world rests in the hands of the twins and their familiar coterie of companions. An ancient Incan artifact, deep in the heart of the Amazonian jungle, might unleash a terrible power if the Gaunts, accompanied by their Uncle Nimrod and assorted Djinn and human companions, cannot manage to stop it. As their journey unfolds with misadventures and magical attacks, they realize they have enemies working against them - perhaps even amongst their own companions. This entry in Kerr's series is particularly strong. Although some of the previous adventures occasionally suffered from too much detail or too many plots, the story here stays on track as the heroes battle every obstacle in their paths. Kerr's characters remain mostly caricature, and readers looking for development will remain unsatisfied. In their fifth adventure, John and Philippa are more adept at using their Djinn abilities but are essentially the same youth that readers met and admired in the first book. Those looking for a rollicking adventure with plenty of laughs as well as danger, however, will be glad that these Djinn are once again out of their bottles. Reviewer: Catherine Gilmore-Clough
Children's Literature
The fifth book in the "Children of the Lamp" series follows the continued adventures of djinn twins John and Philippa Gaunt. Being djinn gives them a rather unusual life—like being asked to help save the world. Together with their Uncle Nimrod, his English bodyguard, and another djinn girl named Zadie, the twins are off to South America and the heart of the Amazon jungle to stop a destructive power from being unleashed. Yet their trip is fraught with giant insects, poison frogs, and headhunters slowing them down. That is, until they realize just who they are up against—an old friend and a new nemesis. What could have been an thrilling adventure story is slowed by a lot of unnecessary exposition and definitions. While the overall plot is interesting and has the potential to be exciting, too often the events come to a complete stop as the characters discuss what they would do next. While fans of the series might overlook this in order to spend more time with their favorite characters, those new to the series might want to start back at the beginning before tackling this title.

    Best Book Ever

    This book is thrilling. I would recomend it to anybody. However if you are a fourth-sixth grader then I would recomend having a dictonary handy.
    I did not have very many problems with the book but one of my friends did. Also make sure you start at at one and then read all the books to get here. Well I really liked it, and I hope you will also!

    UH-MAZING!!

    Wow! Wow! Wow!

    I just finished reading this book yesterday and it is AWESOME! Phillipa and John are back and they've got a more dangerous mission than ever before. They've got to stop Virgil Macreeby and their 'friend' Dybbuk from bringing on the world's end.

    I loved every moment of this. It's thrilling and I COULD NOT put it down. It may be a little juvenile, but hey. It still rocks. I love Dybbuk, he's such a fun character to read. I can't wait for the next book (Kerr said that he sighed up to do at least 7) because I really want to know what happens after this.

    After rereading all the books a few times, I got bored, so I wrote my own story for Children of the Lamp. It's on the webpage below.

    http://www.fanfiction.net/book/Children_of_the_Lamp/

    That's the link.

    Really, tho, I can't wait for more of this series!!
