The twins' mother is not herself, literally, since she took over the body of their deceased housekeeper. So, she has taken a vacation to Braxil, where the best djinn plastic surgeon in the business can fix her. The twins, meanwhile, are headed straight into mortal (or djinni) danger, as they race off to the Amazon to thwart an evil plot to awaken forces that have slept peacefully for hundreds years and steal the power. The twins are joined by their Uncle and by a classmate, who has unkind ulterior motives.
While Kerr has written another fine adventure for the djinni twins, she needs to be careful, because the subplots are becoming many and complicated - even Dybbuk makes an appearance - giving those characters short shrift. Fans of the series will still gobble it up and not be disappointed.
