Jeanie & Genie #2
Relax to the Max
In the second book of the Jeanie and Genie series, Willow Davis accidentally transforms her best friend, Jeanie, into a super-mellow version of herself! Will Jeanie and Willow be able to fix this mess—or will Jeanie be stuck on relax mode for good?
Super-studious Jeanie accidentally makes a wish that she could relax like her classmate, Max. In a flash, Willow grants the wish and suddenly, Jeanie is so not herself…she’s showing up to school in her PJs, passing notes in class—and she doesn’t even care about her favorite things, books and homework, anymore! Will Willow be able to reverse the wish and turn Jeanie back into her old self again?
With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Jeanie & Genie chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.

My 6 year old and I are reading these and she absolutely adores them! She asks to go to bed early so we can read extra chapters.

3.5 STARS These books are super cute. I still like the first one best, but this one is pretty good, too. I kind of wanted more magic in a book that has a genie as a main character, but most of it is school-based here. I appreciate the message that it's important to do well in school but also important to relax and have fun. (Do wish the brother-sister relationship was more amicable but fortunately it doesn't feature much.)

A new Jeanie & Genie and this time a wish turns Jeanie into a total opposite of herself... a totally relaxed version!
I am so loving this cute and fun series and I really enjoyed the second book! Which features something that Jeanie could definitely use at times, relaxation.
Funnily, I am normally not that big of a fan of characters who are so gung-ho on studying, but I just really like Jeanie! Yes, she could definitely learn to relax a bit (though maybe not as much as Willow's wish had her going through :P ), but many times I was with her for her moments of stressing out and being a bit gung-ho about things. When Willow was just playing around while Jeanie was making the project? I felt that. I have had enough group projects in which one is just not doing much. When her brother stole her paper? I don't have a brother, but I could still understand her frustration.
The wish though, or well, the accidental wish as that is what it was (be careful what you say when you look into Willow's eye). I had fun seeing how Jeanie changed, but I also felt a bit sorry for her as you could see that the wish wasn't the right one. You could see her struggling and she seemed to get fuzzier and fluffier each time. But as I said, I was also having fun seeing Jeanie relax. See her not care too much about what she is wearing, see her have fun and make jokes, see her totally relax and not care too much about being the very best (sorry, couldn't resist). It was quite a fun Jeanie! And I love that even when the wish stopped working she took lessons from the wish and seemed to relax a bit more.
I was delighted with Willow that she worked hard to help out her friend, and I am quite curious when she will start to earn badges and which one will be first~ I also love how creative Willow is, yes, she may need to prioritize some studying as well, but I still liked seeing her make all sorts of fun things.
The art was once again a delight and I love love the style so much!
All in all, this was a very fun and relaxing book and I cannot wait to continue reading the series! Recommended to all!

This one was super fun! I liked how Jeanie just needed to relax a little bit and stop being so tightly wound. And that the wish wouldn’t reverse because she didn’t WANT to go back to go back to being so stressed all the time!
