Publisher's summary

Are magic and wishes worth all the trouble they bring?

Maeve Merritt knows all about magic. After all, she found Mermeros the djinni in a sardine tin! But not even magic can give her the freedom to do the daring things she wants to do in her life—things not allowed for girls in 1897. When Maeve and her friend Alice visit Cambridge University, though, she’s amazed to meet ambitious young women breaking down barriers in science, in education, and in sports.

But just when it seems like her dreams might one day come true, thieves looking to steal Mermeros put Maeve and her friends in danger. With the help of two charmed silver mirrors, Maeve can outwit almost any burglar, but she knows magic will continue to cause her trouble at every turn. What if it's time to give up her djinni and say good-bye to wishes for good?

Great ending to a trilogy

I listen to a lot of audio books for children with my daughter. This was by far the best time we’ve had together and wanting to hear more. A+

Excellent narration and story

I listen to all three books in this series and the narrator does a fabulous job between all characters. The cover and description peaked my interest and I though it sounded like it would be fun story to listen to. I was beyond pleasantly surprised. Not only was the story well written (for each book in this series) but the descriptions provided were vividly detailed ! I loved that each story had a theme. I would recommend this to kids, pre-teen and those like my self, approaching several decades of life who appreciate a good wishful story.

Absolutely Recommend - masterpiece

My kids ages 6-12 loved listening (as did my husband and I).

We laughed and cried and tried to guess what would happen next.

Expertly written and narrated. Wow.

Thank you to the creators and performers!!

Delightful

This is the third book of the series I have had the pleasure to losten to. I am often frustrated by the parts that are intended as suspense. I simply find it unnecessary to the story line. Nevertheless, I have loved the adventure of this entire series.
