Book Synopsis

Join Yasmine on her adventures, traveling all across the globe with her mother, an ambassador for world adoption; Majid, her handsome protector and tutor; Hiram, her cat soul mate; and Jinn Jinn, her grumpy genie-in-training.

On her tenth birthday, Yasmine leaves her palace in the ancient and enchanting land of Laajmir to travel the world with her mother, a Goodwill Ambassador for humanitarian causes-beginning with Los Angeles.

That same day, her grandmother, Tavoos the Magnificent, gives her a pink diamond pendant-a treasured family heirloom passed down through generations. But the morning after arriving at the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel, Yasmine reaches for it... and it's gone.

With the help of Steven, the quick-thinking adopted son of a Hollywood producer, Jinn Jinn, a grumpy, slightly dramatic genie-in-training with very questionable wish-granting skills; and Hiram-her sleek, regal cat from Laajmir, who moves like a miniature panther and always lands on his feet-she races across Los Angeles following a trail of cryptic clues, from Hollywood Boulevard to Paramount Studios for a glittering movie premiere.

Between near-misses, unexpected twists, and one spectacularly botched spell too many, things don't exactly go as planned...

Funny, fast-paced, and full of heart, this is the first book in a globe-trotting series filled with adventure, friendship, and mystery.
