YA
Having learned the hard way that making a fourth wish turns you into a genie (The Art of Wishing), Margo finds herself subject to the commands of a succession of masters, all while trying to maintain her previous persona as a normal teenager. Myriad characters can be hard to track and Margo's emotional shifts feel orchestrated, but Ribar's premise is still enjoyable.
