Sea Djinn — Linda Davies

A Boy will come. A Boy will fight for my kingdom and for his own. Finn, you are that boy.

Finn Kennedy thinks he is a normal boy. Until, when surfing off the Dubai coast, he meets Triton, the Sea Djinn, a supernatural being with spectacular powers. Finn soon discovers that he has powers of his own. When his parents are kidnapped by Hydrus, the evil Sea Djinn, he is forced to use those powers. Together with his cousin Georgina and his friend Fred, he steals a boat and sets sail for the Dark Kingdom. (Book 1 of the Djinn Quintet)
