A review by l1ndz7
Nayra and the Djinn by Iasmin Omar Ata
3.5
This was a cute coming-of-age graphic novel set during Ramadan. A holiday unlike any other because a djinn entered the human world and became our MC, Nayra’s friend. Nayra doesn’t have many friends and is constantly getting bullied because of this her grades start to suffer.
Along comes the djinn, Marjan, who is escaping their world for…reasons and ends up helping Nayra with bullying and reconciling with her friend who she grew distant from after the djinn came into her life.
I wish that this was longer. The conflicts moved too quickly and illustrations of the action scenes were a bit confusing. I did however enjoy the refreshing period in time (Ramadan) this graphic novel was set in.
