Winner, IP Picks 2011 Best Junior Prose When Amber discovers a dusty red bott le in her elderly neighbour's shed, she knows at once that it's meant to be hers. Then she meets the strange djinn that lives in the bottle, and is catapulted into an adventure she never imagined. Amber's had a few problems to deal with lately - bullies at school, a cranky teacher and her best friend moving away. Now at least she has a magical friend to talk to ... if she can keep him safe. Can Amber find the courage to deal with the bullying, make new friends and protect her djinn from harm? And what's the mysterious task she'll have to perform that the djinn keeps hinting at? Janet Reid grew up on a dairy farm with hay sheds and pigsties, old abandoned farm machinery, and lots of open space. It was a haven for hours of story weaving with her sister between milking cows, feeding calves and pigs, and sneaking milk for stray cats. She went into teaching and taught in places from the cane fields in Central Queensland to Brisbane before retiring to concentrate on her writing. She lives on the northern outskirts of Brisbane with her husband, two sons and a very 'human' cat called Kelsey.
