4-6Children of the Lamp series.
When the Gaunt twins have their wisdom teeth out, the vision they have under anesthesia reveals their heritage as djinn on the side of good. They're whisked off to Cairo where they navigate the legalities of granting wishes and prevent the evil djinn from upsetting the balance. The varied episodes, likable characters, and research into djinn legends make this an agreeable page-turner.
