Strong protagonists of both genders face friendship, decision-making, and morality
Kora, a powerful genie and the heir to the Genesian throne, is suddenly banished to Earth to keep her safe after her homeland is threatened. Meanwhile, everything is going wrong in David's life on Earth. When he accidentally summons Kora from her globe, his whole world is turned upside-down, and her magic powers might just be the solution to the chaos. But commanding a genie is notoriously tricky—especially when she's also an angry teenage girl. Unable to part from each other, and with their loved ones in danger, Kora and David discover that the best way to help themselves is to first help each other. This topical tale deals with contemporary adolescent issues and features an interesting character dynamic.
