The second book in the series is a stand alone out-of-the-box novel.
A new character is introduced and developed before our eyes.
For returning readers, Karim is true to self and form.
Our devil's advocate, Zimmah, shines in his new role as a Genie and still uses his twisted mind to play games while teaching a lesson. Who knew he had a comical side?
A look-see at an Otherworld, where unicorns and mermaids did not step off the pages from fairytales and original folklore, yet still a kids' book.
Enjoyable and a must read. Strongly recommended and I will continue to the next book!

Once again we find ourselves in a fantasy world with Karim and Zimmah the Djinn. Only this time it's not a candy land, it's a world where unicorns and mermaids are at war with each other. This time the warring factors are not Karim's parents, this novel is more about Zimmah and a girl he meets that is able to bring him down and he is trying to fight her. But now this new land and a new war with fantastical creatures could possibly bring Zimmah down but Whitney is more interested in saving her mother who is very ill and could die. Will Karim and Whitney be able to defeat the Djinn for good this time or to make him see how harmful his "wishes" can be? And will Whitney be able to save her mother in time? You have to read the book to find out! No spoilers :) Again in this book I love the way the author juxtaposes the situation with the Mermaids and Unicorns to parallel what is happening in Whitney's life with her mother. I love the way both of the books so far have shown that what we want may not always be what is best. Another great read from King, he has an amazing ability to transport the reader to the worlds he creates and make them part of the story. You won't be able to put it down.
I received a complimentary ebook in exchange for my honest review.

I think this book is good. I really enjoyed the unicorns and my favorite unicorn is Sparkle because she is kind and so cool. The mermaids are really mean though.
