Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-21 00:00:00 Derek Wilson John and Philippa Guant are djinn. Their djinn friend, Dybbuk, helped a friend and the friend's dad steal old paintings from a museum. Soon the dad and friend were killed while Dybbuk was gone, by snakebite. He contacts Philippa and John, and they immediately go to help. Also, two men tried to break into the Gaunt's house and steal their wisdom teeth, which having them would give them complete control over John and Philippa. Meanwhile, their Uncle Nimrod and wise old djinn friend, Rakhasas, have discovered something and had gone to fix it. They were captured, and taken somewhere. The children have to travel all over the world with the help of a one armed butler to find out who is behind the attacks, and eventually they get on the trail of Cult of the Nine Cobras. They have to stop the evil plan the cult is putting into progress, even risking their lives to do it. I rated this book five stars because it was fun and interesting to read, and it was funny and cool at parts. I like the fact that the author invented tons of stuff about djinn for the series. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fiction and adventure, magic, and wants an easy but interesting book.
