Book Description
================
You can tell from the very first page that P. B. Kerr had great 
fun writing his novel, The Akhenaten Adventure. 
The way the author introduces his cleverly named characters, 
the atmospheric setting, the fun tone of his narration--all 
indicate that a hugely entertaining story is in store. 
The first installment of his Children of the Lamp sequence 
is set firmly in the present day, but it soon breaks away 
and encompasses several wonderfully colorful parts of the 
globe, England and Egypt included.


John and Philippa Gaunt, two twelve-year-old not-very-identical 
twins, live a privileged life on the Upper East of Manhattan with 
their wealthy parents and two curiously-mannered Rottweilers named 
Alan and Neil. The twins realize there's something amiss with their 
world when a string of strange things begin to happen after their 
wisdom teeth are extracted--they dream the same dreams, become stronger, 
their zits clear up, and wishes wished in their presence inexplicably 
come true. And, when their estranged Uncle Nimrod asks them to come to 
England for the summer during one such shared dream, the discovery of 
their destiny is set in motion.


John and Phillippa discover that they are descended from a long line of 
Djinn, have great inherent powers. They must call on these powers a lot 
sooner than they anticipated, though, because the ancient Egyptian pharaoh 
Akhenaten is not as dead as history has so far declared and his legion of 
seventy magical djinn could tip the balance of power in the magical realm 
and affect the whole world order.



P.B. Kerr, under his given name Philip Kerr, is the author of several bestselling thrillers for adult readers. His debut novel for children is a slick, zeitgeisty fantasy adventure that is sure to win him a new raft of fans. The Blue Djinn of Babylon is next up for those who get hooked.
