Waterstones Says

An evil spirit who feeds on hope gets unleashed in this pacey and brilliantly gripping adventure from the former Waterstones Children's Laureate, centring on a 12-year-old boy who finds himself in an underground world of genie-hunting academics.

'Genies grant wishes! That’s all anyone ever cares about. They forget that genies were imprisoned in those lamps for a reason…'

Relic Hamilton is just your average 12-year-old, living a quiet life with his grandfather above their old antiques shop in Chinatown in London.

Until one day, while polishing some mysterious brass lamps in the basement, something extraordinary happens. Relic feels spine-chillingly cold. Breathless. Scared. And suddenly, a real, live genie stands before him!

But this is no kind, benevolent genie. This genie is evil ... and it feeds on hope.

Relic finds himself catapulted to the centre of a fast-paced underground community of genie hunters, led by the excitable Professor Latimer and the tech-savvy Doctor Raphaela. Together, they travel in their one-of-a-kind jet, the Aladdin, secretly chasing rogue genies before they can wreak havoc on the world…

MEDIA REVIEWS

[A] witty, fast-paced adventure from the children’s laureate. - The Guardian

From the former Children’s Laureate comes an exciting new series, part Indiana Jones, part Ghostbusters, part Pokémon, but all very much its own. Brilliant. - Netgalley

This adventure from the outgoing Children’s Laureate is a fresh take on Aladdin. - The Courier Dundee

Former Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho’s new series is sure to work its magic on young readers! … The story is immensely satisfying and there’s a great cast of characters… Hyun Song We’s illustrations of the genies and the action are terrific. Genie-us all round! - Love Reading 4 Kids

a brilliant tangle of high tech, magical and historical adventure that ranges through time and geography at a cracking pace […] There’s a great cast of fantastic and fantastical characters - genies, genie hunters, pirates, school children and some wonderfully told history as Relic goes backwards and forwards in time. […] There is so much in this magical world that it is impossible to discover it all in just one novel and the characters are so engaging that you really want to continue meeting them. I was delighted to find out that this is the first book in the series and like many readers I am sure, I can’t wait for the further adventures of Relic Hamilton. - Books for Keeps

“A great magical adventure”

I love a fantasy and in particular those that feature strong protagonists and magical adventures with their roots in traditional tales. While many of the books I read feature witches, fairies and dragons, there are... More
