Whiskers and Wishes by Elayne Griffith, 154 pages

 Kamod, a powerful djinn, has lost faith in magic. After centuries of granting wishes that have only deepened people’s unhappiness, he longs for the freedom to genuinely help others. In desperation, he turns to an ancient legend claiming that a truly content person could release him from servitude. But to find them, he’ll have to step out of hiding and into the world once more.


Joined by loyal, furry companions—his yakaroo who loves turnips, and a lost cat in need of a home—Kamod sets off in his caravan across the quaint countryside of the Blisswile Isles, hoping to fulfill his own unlikely wish.

What he doesn’t expect to gain along the way is a circle of quirky friends, including a wise goblin monk, a mischievous imp, and a dwarf with a passion for dragons. Unfortunately, finding that happy person proves to be more mythical than a flying turtle. Although, sometimes, when one feels most powerless, wishes come true in unexpected ways.
