The Ruby Bottle

Winner, IP Picks 2011 Best Junior Prose

When Amber discovers a dusty red bottle in her elderly neighbour’s shed, she knows at once that it’s meant to be hers. Then she meets the strange djinn that lives in the bottle, and is catapulted into an adventure she never imagined.


Amber’s had a few problems to deal with lately – bullies at school, a cranky teacher and her best friend moving away. Now at least she has a magical friend to talk to … if she can keep him safe.


Can Amber find the courage to deal with the bullying, make new friends and protect her djinn from harm?


And what’s the mysterious task she’ll have to perform that the djinn keeps hinting at?
