Plot: Following their adventures in India, Phillipa and John Grant, djinn twins, discover that their mother has left their household and mortal father to fulfill an oath to become the Blue Djinn, the supreme leader of the djinns. To become the Blue Djinn, she is forced to abandon all previous relations and emotions, so she can judge completely without bias. The twins, with their uncle Nimrod, set out to find Faustina, the true heir of the Blue Djinn. In the process of finding her, though, the twins discover something strange occurring in the world of spirits. Meanwhile, Dybukk, Faustina's brother, finds himself working his way into fame and fortune as he uses his magic to amaze Las Vegas and the world. Yet, his stunts may be used by a foe of the twins to commit an atrocity never before witness by the world of mortals or spirits.

Personal Thoughts: Like most of the series, Day of the Djinn Warriors provides a solid, over-the-top action story. The locals and humor remind readers of Indiana Jones, while the concepts and characters recall Harry Potter. While the read is enjoyable, the length and the diction may be daunting to younger readers. Still, it manages to provide a good story.
