The Genie of Sutton Place

We found this book at the local library and my children would have passed it by. It had not been checked out for 24 years. They love this book and want their own copy.

this book is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C. I highly reccomend to kids who love fantasy. I admit in the beginning i a'm a kid at saint ann's school and we wrote reviews about on a note card and the said:this book sucks etc. so you get my point this book is FABULOUS for kids from ages 7-12. your life will be better if you read it TRUST ME!!!

I liked this book but i didnt love it at all i mean thier wasnt really any adventure

This was one of my childhood faves...there's mystery, archaeology, opera, romance, New York City (uptown and downtown), a dog that becomes a man, and a genie that pops out of a carpet and saves the day. Written by George Selden (famous for penning The Cricket in Times Square), the author knew how to mix the exuberance of youth with the anything-goes quality of Gotham to create a most clever tale (with a happy ending). A great read for smart kids with broad interests poised for adulthood.
