Summary: Experience the magic of Aladdin!
Review: This story is about a group of kids who find a lamp. But after rubbing it things start changing! Amazing things happen! I highly recommend this book for you not just to read, but to EXPERIENCE the magic! I also think that it brings out the imagination in a kid. Especially a kid who is just starting to read chapter books. When I was just starting to read chapter books, I'd always wanted to read the Bailey School Kids books. Now I can't stop!

Summary: be careful what you wish for!
Review: What if you could be granted 3 wishes... The Bailey School Gang is convinced they can do just that after they find an old bottle wedged in a tree in the school yard. They uncork it, a horrible smell issues forth, and the next day a very tall bald man named Gene shows up riding a purple bicycle. When the kids wishes suddenly start coming true (or is merely just a coincidence??) they become convinced that Gene is really a genie!!The Bailey School Kids is an addictive series. This is number 8 and already I'm working my way through the next 5 or 6, and I'm an adult! Less creepy-spooky than others in this series ("Werewolves Don't..." and "Aliens Don't..." are more spooky than this one), this book is nevertheless a lot of fun. Gene mysteriously appears and laughs a loud laugh every time one of the kids offhandedly wishes for something. Then, that wish comes true! While our buddy Eddie doesn't believe that Gene could be a magical creature (does Eddie EVER believe anything??), readers will be very hard pressed to explain that he's not when they find out what happens to the Kid's normally boring, work-driven teacher! The "...Don't..." series (as I call them) are all quick reads that weigh in `round or under 100 pages. The story is easy to read and the plot catchy--what would YOU do if you wishes seemed to come true from a purple bicycle-riding genie? This makes "Genies Don't..." a good choice for beginning-to-intermediate readers or children/students who are normally reluctant to read. I wouldn't classify it as MY personal favorite, but I still enjoyed the book a good deal and would recommend it.
