Bestselling author P. B. Kerr is back with a fifth book in his highly imaginative and magical CHILDREN OF THE LAMP series In their latest adventure, John and Philippa Gaunt find themselves tangled up in a spellbinding mystery that takes them deep into the heart of the Amazon jungle in book five of the NY TIMES bestselling Children of the Lamp series. When a collection of Incan artifacts goes missing, the Blue Djinn of Babylon dispatches the twins and Uncle Nimrod to recover them. Along the way, though, John and Philippa encounter their friend Dybbuk, who was drained of his djinn powers but is determined to get them back.
Actually haven't had a chance to read this one yet, but loved the previous books. As an adult that likes an entertaining read without the gratuitous violence I have really enjoyed these books and would highly recommend them to parents with kids old enough to read them. They are full of adventures around the world, history, mystery, lessons learned and family values. The audio books of the stories are a hoot! To make it even better, if you read them to the kids you'll enjoy lines meant for you to enjoy. You'll both love the experience.
