This book is suitable for students in 4th grade because they have the ability to understand things that are outside of real life. Also, I think the fact that it is set in a school there can still be some light connections made between the reader and the main character. Using this as a book club book could be the best way to go.

There are aspects of magic and adventure that make this book enjoyable for students. The use of the genie also allows for this book to be speculative fiction.
This book would be great for ages 9 to 12 middle grade readers (upper elementary and middle school) that are interested in imaginative worlds of magic with exciting adventures and action. I also thought this book would be great for silent reading and it is also part of a series.

Started this audiobook today on my walk because I‘m caught up with The Downstairs Girl for #SundayBuddyRead. It‘s quite entertaining and reminds me of The Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett except for the Genie. #AwesomeAugust #19 on #BookSpinBingo Got my 3 hours reading in today!

pickA fun YA book that wasn‘t as nearly predictable as I thought it was going to be. I liked Maeve. She had spunk and didn‘t let the morals of late 19th century Victorian England define who she wanted to be.
Of course, I‘ve totally lost how much time I‘ve read for #24B4Monday. 😂 This was 9.5 hrs. Plus I finished 2 books on Friday, so somewhere In double digits.
After reading "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest," I needed to decompress!
Here‘s three of the audiobooks I read and enjoyed in May. I listened to two more - The Rook and Ever After which I also own physical copies of. #audiobooks
pickThis was a free Audible YA book, so I had no idea that I‘d enjoy it as much as I did. The writing and the narrator are high quality and a pleasure to listen to and young Maeve Merritt is the best protagonist I‘ve read thus far this year—feisty, smart, and complex. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
