From Publishers Weekly Jean, 15, politely thanks her aunt and uncle for their birthday present to her: an ugly, tarnished lamp with a fat blue candle inside. That night when a storm causes the lights to go out, the lamp proves not only useful, but nothing short of miraculous. Arthur, a blue genie, emerges as soon as the candle is lit. Once Jean accepts that Arthur is indeed a genie, she begins to make wishes. Arthur, however, is slightly confused, which is why Jean's wishes end up badly: she is grounded, becomes a contestant on "Name That Poison," falters on homework assignments, finds herself the daughter of the man she loves and turns into an infamous writer. When Jean and Arthur finally discover and resolve a major mix-up, Jean's life returns to normalonly she has learned something that changes her attitude about herself. This light, humorous novel will amuse readers who enjoy a deft blending of fantasy and reality. Ages 12-up. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal Grade 6-9 For her 15th birthday, practical, shy Jeannie Warren is given a lamp by her aunt and uncle. The teapot-shaped "candlestick" which holds a blue candle reminds Jeannie's ten-year-old pain-in-the-neck brother, Richie, of Aladdin's magic lamp. When an unusual thunderstorm knocks out the electricity, Jeannie lights the lamp from which emerges a genie who closely resembles Groucho Marxcigar and all. The magical results temporarily turn Jeannie's orderly world topsy-turvy, until it is discovered that the genie was intended to serve Aunt Jean. Things are righted, of course, when the genie goes to its rightful mistress. Jeannie narrates this fast-paced, humorous, and highly-readable tale that is filled with characters who are not fully drawn but who are plausible nonetheless. Readers are likely to identify with Jeannie's lack of self-confidence and her pangs of growing up. Maria B.
