An exciting fantasy adventure full of twist, turns and some very unexpected moments. Michael, Milly, Jason and Jess are just four ordinary children leading quite ordinary lives until they meet a most unusual genie disguised in the shape of a bookworm. Led by the genie, the four children are soon off on a magical adventure helped by a very clever but distracted Phoenix and an invaluable magic carpet.
Michael, Molly, Jess and Jason are all more settled in their new home in Moorways Meet, but after their last adventure, they aren't finding a life without magic much fun. Then they find an old piece of paper with A Map For Those Who Seek Hidden Treasure written on it - it looks as though things are going to get exciting again! And it does.
