Excellent MG fantasy read!
This tale felt modern, yet was filled with so many delicious details from Arabic folktales. There's magic, Djinns, flying carpets, evil villains, and so much more.
I loved the relationship between the brother and sister, and I loved how the author presented current social/political issues (racial injustices, COVID, climate change) throughout the story in a subtle, yet effective way.
Highly recommend this one to readers of all ages, even if you aren't a fan of fantasy, this is an adventure you don't want to miss.
