Now that Maeve Merrit has surrendered Mermeros the djinni she found in a sardine can, she expects her life in London will be dull as dirt. But villains from Maeve's previous escapades are still searching for the djinni, now in the hands of Mr. Poindexter, the adoptive father of Maeve's friend Tommy. When Mr. Poindexter tries to use one of the three wishes, he and Mermeros go missing--and without a guardian, Tom will be forced back to the orphanage. Maeve, Tom, and their friend Alice soar off on flying carpetbags in an adventure full of danger, detective work, and magic to rescue Mr. Poindexter and that rascal, Mermeros. But will they find them before the djinni's fabled wishes fall into the wrong hands?
