The Girl and the Genie — De Kenyon

In this fairy tale, a girl finds a magic bottle with a genie inside (she can tell there's a genie inside, because she can see it having adventures), but the genie won't come out to give her wishes. What does she do? She goes inside...

Like a story from The Arabian Night's Entertainment, the girl has to travel far, posing as a traveling teacher (of things like math problems and standing in line), making friends with some curious demons, and surviving a revenge that was meant for someone else before she finally gets the genie to give her at least one wish.

(For children 8 to 12 years old.)
