Janna is frustrated by her life and the fact that she and her mother don't have enough money to buy everything that she wants. But everything starts to change when she buys a hat for a homeless woman and her kindness is rewarded. The woman is a genie who will now grant wishes for Janna - and it turns out that the 3-wish rule is just a story; there are no limits! Except, none of Janna's wishes are going the way that she intends. Everything she wishes to have herself gets taken away from someone else, and unlimited wishes still have complex restrictions. Suddenly, having a genie around is less like winning the lottery than Janna had hoped, but she still has to use her wishes somehow...
This was a fairly good book and a quick read. It was definitely an interesting take on the "genie" concept, and well thought-out. I liked the way that the characters develop during the book and and the fact that Janna grows a bit throughout the story. I would recommend this to fantasy fans of all ages who enjoy stories that take place in the real world.
