About Relic Hamilton, Genie Hunter: The Door of the Dead

Have you ever thought that there might be more to genies than what we've been led to believe? What would happen if these all-powerful beings somehow found their way... out of the lamp? In this second instalment in the Relic Hamilton, Genie Hunter trilogy, we return to the world of Relic as he finds his feet in his new-found role as a Genie Hunter. Relic and the Hermitic Society of Genie Hunters are faced with their biggest challenge yet, when the king of the evil genies, Ravenna, attempts to free The Archivist, one of his most dangerous allies – who has plans to open the door to the dead. Now with two unimaginably powerful foes to conquer, the genie hunters must work together, embrace their differences, and think outside the lamp to prevent the end of the world as we know it.

This is an action-packed read, written in Joseph Coelho's characteristically playful prose, and perfectly pitched for 9–12-year-olds. Black-and-white illustrations by Hyun Song help to bring the story to life. Each chapter is introduced in verse, which is a lovely touch, introducing readers to new forms of writing. Relic Hamilton, Genie Hunter: The Door of the Dead offers a gripping adventure story with a cast of characters that young readers will love. If we had three wishes, we'd use one to get this book into your hands.
