In The Genie of Sutton Place by award-winning author George Selden, a young boy recounts the events of the summer when he had the services of an Arabian genie at his disposal.
"Tim turns to his dead father's diaries for some occult wisdom to help him keep Sam, a beloved mongrel his aunt has banished from their apartment. What he finds is a spell that summons the genie Abdullah from a thousand years' captivity in a woven carpet."
