A thrilling new adventure into the glittering realm of the jinn from the author of Nura and the Immortal Palace.
Amir has lived all his life in splendour, being the son of a wealthy businessman. But when his mother disappears at his father's factory, Amir is the only one who feels sure she's not gone forever.
When a strange jinn shows up on his doorstep with clues to his mother's whereabouts, Amir finds himself following Shamsa into the realm of the jinn - a world of trickery, tests and deceit.
But could his mother also be hiding in this world of pink seas and purple skies, and could a jinn princess be his key to finding her?
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Khan is seriously skilled when it comes to creating transporting, fantastical worlds, but Amir and the Jinn Princess is also a meditation on grief and a warning about unfettered capitalism. * The Bookseller * Pakistani folklore informs this twisty, fantastical tale of dynastic pressures and internecine strife, in which Amir's eyes are opened to extractivist [removal of natural minerals from the earth] wrongdoings and the imperative to trust in those who share your values. * The Guardian * compelling [...] offers a moving and thought-provoking commentary on exploitation, deforestation and the nature of power. It is truly a book for our times. I enjoyed it hugely. * English 4-11 * "This book is a beautifully written story entwined with culture, magic and secrets. Children will love reading about the Kingdom of Kagra with its purple skies and blue sand... The characters in this story are carefully crafted and each character pulls the storyline together. * Reading Zone * Amir and the Jinn Princess takes young readers into a puff of magic and fantasy that all 9-12 years-olds will adore. * BookRead2Day *
