1. Right now in my book Viola, the main character, her friend Lawrence, and her other friend Jinn, who is also her genie which in book is called a jinn, are at Lawrence's house. Viola accidentally summoned Jinn and now she has one wish left, because she has already used her first two. Viola was taking an extremely long time making her wishes and Jinn was getting worried about how his relationship with Viola was more than master and servant. So when an ifrit comes and asks if he wants a press on her (which is when another jinn comes and creates an event that will make her need to use her wish) he says yes. But later he realizes he dosn't want them to press her because if she uses all her wishes he has to go back to his world and she will forget him forever. He doesn't want that to happen because he really likes Viola. So, they are hiding at Lawrence's house from the ifrit who will probably use Lawrence to press Viola. They have decided to go outside and roast marshmallows.

2. I love this book. I like how friendship creeps up in places the characters didn't expect. Also, I really liked show the book switches back and fourth between Viola's and Jinn's perspective. It is cool to hear what they are both thinking about and gives the story more depth. I really like reading the book even more at the parts that Jinn is at because he is a really cool and interesting character.

3. The theme of this book is feeling friendship. I think that is the main theme because in a lot of the book, Viola feels that like she is invisible since her and her boyfriend broke up. She was wishing so strongly not to feel invisible and to feel whole that she summoned Jinn, which is what the whole story is really about, her and Jinn's friendship. Will Viola and Jinn be able to stay friends.

4. My favorite character is Jinn. One, it is really cool that he is a jinn (genie). But not only that, he so badly wants to stay on earth and be able to have friends (jinn relationships can never be as real as human relationships). He seems really nice and would make a really good friend.

5. My least favorite character is Aaron. Viola makes a wish that Jinn fulfills by making Aaron fall in love with her. Even though Aaron is a really nice, popular, funny guy, he doesn't understand Viola even though he loves her. He doesn't understand her love of painting and doesn't notice when she doesn't want to do something, like see a scary movie or go to a party.

6. My prediction is that Viola, Jinn, and Lawrence will think of a wish Viola can make that will make Jinn able to stay on earth. The wish I think she will make is I wish Jinn and me can stay friends.
