Genie Us

Author(s): Steve Cole

Fiction - junior

What would you wish for? When Milly, Michael, Jason and Jess move to a town in the middle of nowhere, the last thing they expect to find is a magic book - with its own talking bookworm called Skribble! The grumpy worm promises that "The Genie Handbook" can make them into genies in six easy steps. Soon they are diving into a world of weirdness and wonder, trouble and trickery, trying to make each other's wishes come true. But when the wishes start to go wrong the magic seems scarier. What is the secret of the mysterious couple watching from the shadows? Why is Skribble so afraid of them? And if the children's greatest wish of all is finally granted, will their world change for better or for worse?

She has written over seventy books for children including the My Secret Unicorn, Stardust and Not Quite a Mermaid series.

When she is not writing she spends her time looking afer her two young daughters, reading, putting on plays and horse riding. Born in 1971, Steve Cole spent a happy childhood in rural Bedfordshire being loud and aspiring to amuse. He liked books, and so went to the University of East Anglia to read more of them.

He is the author of the popular Astrosaurs and Cows in Action series.
