4Kobra King of Kathmandu  Aug 27, 2007
This is an excellent third book in a series. The young djinn twins have many adventures and misadventures but there is somehow, always a silver bullet to save the day. Nice, light, reading for grades 4-7. (But I'm 54 and I enjoyed it too!)

5Cobra King Of Kathmandu  Aug 24, 2007
The Cobra King of Kathmandu is the third book in the Children of the Lamp series. This series is based around twin Djinn children, John and Philippa Gaunt. John and Philippa knew nothing about their Djinn heritage until their wisdom teeth erupted. In Djinn, the eruption of the wisdom teeth brings forth the hidden magic that the child will possess. To say the least, the children were surprised to find out that Djinn were real, that their mother was a Djinn, and that they too possessed magical abilities. This was only the beginning of their adventure as they started training with their Uncle Nimrod in Egypt and found themselves in the middle of a fight with an evil Djinn who wanted to disrupt the delicate balance between good and evil Djinn.

In The Cobra King of Kathmandu, the twins find themselves in yet another adventure. Unbeknownst to the twins, their mother is readying herself to become the Blue Djinn of Babylon. Meanwhile, John and Philippa come to the rescue of fellow Djinn Dybbuk (Buck) who has stumbled upon a great Djinn conspiracy. Someone seems to be trying to find young Djinn, tracking them down through dental records showing young children whose wisdom teeth erupt earlier than the average person. What is this person up to? Why does he want to capture a Djinn?

I enjoyed both the first and third book of this series. I have yet to read the second installment, which I am now very eager to do. John and Philippa are very much like average kids just trying to understand this new world they haven't quite figured out yet. Their adventures are absolutely delightful.

Fans of P.B. Kerr's ongoing fantasy 'Children of the Lamp' will appreciate yet another addition to the saga: THE COBRA KING OF KATHMANDU, the third in the series and telling of the djinn twins in another magical mystery. This time they're trying to uncover a murderer who uses the king cobra to kill - and find themselves caught in a cult of cobra worshipers. Can they stop the leader's deadly plan? Middle school fantasy fans - and many an adult - will choose this for leisure reading; especially prior fans of the 'Children of the Lamp' saga.
