I didn’t really like it because it was a little bit babyish

It is really funny and most people hate Saturday shopping too. I would definitely recommend this to someone who believes in magical things.

I would recommend it to children younger than me. I liked the bit where the genie comes out of the jam jar. I also liked the bit where the mum said "don't get shopping trolley with monkey wheels and he said "they all have wonkey wheels" .

Ethan found a jam jar. He was holding the jar and it went as hot as chilli. He found the jam jar with the genie inside in a shop

I liked how the genie lived in the jam jar instead of a lamp. I found the book funny. I would recommend this book.
Professor Bunny Submarine 02.08.2023
I liked this book because it was an unusual story. A genie came out of a jam jar instead of a lamp as they usually do in stories - like Aladdin. My favourite character was Ethan because he made a mistake and had to use his wishes to fix it. He was a good guy. Children who like stories about genies and magic would enjoy this book.
