Aster is a ten-year-old girl who thinks the place she lives in is super boring.  One day, Aster is walking home from school and she ends up on a new path and meets an old woman who is a shepherdess of woolly dogs.  Aster is given a dog named Buzz and Buzz leads Aster to a place in the shadows where a genie, named Trickster Rapscallion, comes. The trickster takes all wishes literally and causes chaos for Aster.  

I love this book because the cartoon illustrations are hilarious.  The characters are funny, and I like the adventures they go on and the friendships.  I have read this book four times in the one day that I have had this book-it’s my new favorite.  If you like graphic novels and cartoons you will love this book.  The end of the book says, “To be continued” and I can’t wait!
