Relic Hamilton, Genie Hunter

From the former Children’s Laureate comes an exciting new series, part Indiana Jones, part Ghostbusters, part Pokémon, but all very much its own. Brilliant. * Netgalley *
Former Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho’s new series is sure to work its magic on young readers! … The story is immensely satisfying and there’s a great cast of characters… Coelho is a poet as well as author and each chapter opens with a poem, which is an extra treat, while Hyun Song We’s illustrations of the genies and the action are terrific. Genie-us all round! * Love Reading 4 Kids *
This is an exciting and new look at genie’s- not the grandeur we might associate with making wishes. These genie’s are rather unique looking and many are keen to cause chaos and disorder, all in anger over their treatment from humans. Relic proves to be a brilliant character, one who starts to find his feet in this new society! Ending on enough of a cliffhanger to know you need to read more, this is a fantastic start to a new series! * My Shelves are Full *
Relic Hamilton, Genie Hunter is an engaging MG adventure and fantasy book with a relatable main character, the twelve year old Relic. We also have an evil genie, an underground academia, an illustration style that oozes motion. I highly recommend this cute book. * Netgalley Reviewer *
