(3) 4-6 On Emily's twelfth birthday, she does not receive the cellphone she asked for but instead begins an "absurdly dangerous" adventure when she finds a magical smartphone-mimicking stone. Already suffering under bullies at her new school, Emily sees an opportunity to regain some control though the Spellstone's powerful genie-like demon, Gorgo. This humorous underdog fantasy features a snarky third-person narrator and strong supporting characters.
