description: A one-armed chauffeur? Twin djinn? Three wishes? Qwertyuiop! What does it all add up to? An amazing adventure, for .sure (and that's not counting the Rottweilers, Alan and Neil, who are not exactly the pets they seem to be). Meet John and Philippa Gaunt. 1 2-year-old twins who one day discover themselves to be descended from a long line of djinn. All of a sudden, they have the power to grant wishes, travel to extraordinary places (and not necessarily on public transportation), and make people and objects disappear. Luckily (and luck does have something to do with it), the twins are introduced to their eccentric djinn-Uncle Nimrod, who will teach them how to harness their newly found power. And not a moment too soon! Because John and Philippa are about to embark on a search to locate a monstrous-looking (but supposed-to-be-dead) pharaoh named Akhenaten, and his tomb, which may be holding 70 lost djinn. Will the twins be strong and skilled and clever enough to outwit Iblis, the most evil djinn in the universe--and live to see another day ... another city ... another adventure?
