Pranks, deceit, betrayal, and the Blue Djinn of Babylon—John and Philippa have a lot to deal with, and they’re still young djinns!
Very important developments are happening in the djinn world, and John and Philippa are about to become a part of them. Mr. Rakshasa has finally finished his Shorter Baghdad Rules, which is a one-volume version of The Baghdad Rules, and the most important book in all of the djinns’ world, since it contains everything of interest to the djinn, without the contradictions and inconsistencies of the original.
This booktalk was written by librarian and booktalking expert Joni R. Bodart.
