4-6Children of the Lamp series.
With bad luck outweighing good in the world, djinn twins John and Philippa search for the cause. They uncover an evil djinn plot to wrest a secret of the universe from the fakir who possesses it. Meanwhile, John's attempt to see into the future leads to great peril for the butler Groanin. This sixth magical action-adventure is another solid series entry.
