Осы электрондық кітап туралы ақпарат
Everyone expects Ruby Genie to have the same fantastic magical powers as her famous parents did, but Ruby can't do any magic at all - or so she thinks. Then she begins to get smaller . . . and smaller . . . and smaller.
With the help of Aunt Hat, the kindly conjuror who is hopeless at doing tricks, Ruby finds her own special brand of magic. This is a wonderfully funny adventure story, full of brilliant characters, who help Ruby discover that some of the best things come in small packages!
