“In Theft of Sapphire... the comparisons to Harry Potter are warranted for once.” -M.S. Middle School Librarian


Join Judah, Barnaby, Grace and the odd ones as these five genie children struggle to survive in a world where gemstones create magic, wishes are bartered for goods and souls, and monsters escape their prisons to run rampage among the four clans: The Peregrines, the Grumbluds, the Smiths and the Lockwoods.

A banished clan looks to return, a creeping ghoul hunts unsuspecting genies, and horrofiends rise from the ashes of failed wishes...
