Aladdin: Far from Agrabah by Aisha Saeed
5.0
I didn't know that this was a midquel- I usually don't usually enjoy those ... but I love this book.
It takes place during the magic carpet ride Aladdin and Jasmine take in the original live action movie.Aladdin wishes to show her his kingdom that he doesn't have so Genie makes one up for him -one that only stays up and showing as long as Aladdin and Jasmine are in it.
i loved all of the old and new characters in this one. I also loved the short chapter breaks that are about the famous sultans from the past - it all eventually connects with the story and comes full circle.
The only thing that I wish this book had more of was Genie because I loved him in the original, but he is back at the palace distracting everyone so that they don't see that Jasmin and Ali/Aladdin are missing but the parts where he does pop up are well-written and hillarious. It's a nice short quick page turner that is as great as the movie novelization was.
