Megan K. Age 11

From the first time I saw the cover, I knew this book was going to be amazing. And it was, I couldn't stop reading it. I had to stay up every night just to finish the chapter and when I wake up on a weekend, it would be the first thing I would I look at. A great fantasy. A real page turner.

The book is the best book I've ever read! It takes your mind to places in the world like Egypt and London. The book captures your mind like a magical spell! If anyone wants to read a great book, read "Children of the Lamp."
Blake P. Age 10

Children of the Lamp is an engrossing story, with a thick plot and clever characters. It takes everything that we know and flips it. This is the best fantasy I've seen for months.

A terrific book that is so cool and funny, but on the verge of scary in some parts
Monika B. Age 13:

This book was amazing! The beginning was slow but once I got absorbed into the twists and turns of John and Phil's summer I didn't want to go back to the world. A good, clean family fantasy is just what this world needs.
Zoey H. Age 13

It's a great book with great imagination! I can't wait for the next book
to come out. I just love it!!!!!

I absolutely loved this book because there were very interesting twists in this book. I can't believe this book is rated 6. It should be twelve!!!
LaVel. Age 12

I loved this book! It is full of adventure and mystery! Once you start it is impossible to put down. Just like when John and Phil read the book their Uncle Nimrod gave to them.
Angel N. Age 12

This book was EXCELLENT! I could NOT put it down. I read it from the beginning to end non-stop!
Victoria D. Age 11

The book is action-packed and is filled with puzzles and events that seem as if they are minor, but turn out to play important roles in the story. The book also transports you into another world, and the author connects real-life places and events with fiction to make the book almost seem like the events could really happen. This book is a great read and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good story.
Sarah I. Age 13

I LOVE THIS BOOK!! It gives a new form to fantasy. It's not JUST about a genie giving three wishes! Whenever you think the book is going to end, you get a new turn in the book!
Sam W. Age 11

I loved that book. The most exciting part was when they were in the library with the lamp.

It was a very interesting book and I could hardly put it down.
Shane G, Age 12

Two words. Non-stop action. This book had some very interesting twists and turns in it. Just when you thought it was over. Boom! A new problem shoots out of the blue. P.B Kerr uses new ideas and awesome powers to give this story an irresistible spice. It was definitely a great fantasy tale of a clash between good and evil.
Adam R., Age 13

This is a wonderful book that combines magic with science fiction with modern New York, Egypt, and London. I think that anyone looking for a book that you just can't put down then I would recommend this one first.
Jasmine L., Age 13

This is a great book! I thought that most of it was made up but discovered that most of the subjects in the book yield amazing facts.
