Genny in a Bottle, books 1 through 4, were my first set of novels for middle grade readers. I wrote about a genie named Genny who helped kids work out their problems while having fun. If a child was in a pickle, then poof!, Genny would show up. Although she was a genie with good intentions, she has a mischievous side of her own. To keep kids out of boy drama and friendship triangles, she had to stay out of trouble herself.

I absolutely loved these books when I was younger. I have all of them except the second one. However, I did just order it so I will soon have the whole series. These were honestly my favorite books to read back in the day. Can’t wait to re-read them now once I get the second one. 🙂

Hello Ms. Kemp, I recently read your Genny in a Bottle book series recently, and even though I’m not within the age or gender demographic that this series is aimed for, I still found your books to being delightfully fun and quirky for a middle grade book series. Although, despite not being with the aforementioned age or gender group for this book series, the series itself is contemporary to the time period that it was released in as I was able to get understand the references presented considering that I was born during the 1990’s since I can’t say for sure if modern readers would understand the featured references; such as with Nick at Nite, CD players, cassette tape, and Madonna. It would interesting if there was a new book that took place in current times in which I could see Genny making comments about kids being desensitized by modern technology and young girls being obsessed with vampire romance novels. In addition, it would be great to see how the protagonists from the previous books have been doing in term of getting a glimpse of their adult lives and how successful they have been since it was mentioned that every child that Genny has helped have gone on to becoming famous. If I were to rank the books in the order of best to least best, my ranking would be for books 4, 1, 2, & 3. Anyways, I just wanted to share my thoughts on your book series and the fun I had reading them.
