The Genie Game (YA)

Thirteen-year-old Valentine Adesanya is desperate to find her missing big sister, Mango. So when a mysterious text from Mango leads her to a boba shop, Valentine follows.

But when she arrives, instead of finding her sister, she's pulled into the Genie Realm, a magical world where kids become 'genies' and grant wishes to power the Trio Trust, the mega-corporations secretly running Gloss Angeles. To escape and rescue Mango, Valentine must compete in the Genie Game: a wish-granting contest where only cleverness, grit and a little chaos will get her to the top. But as she climbs the leaderboard, Valentine uncovers a monstrous secret buried beneath the glittering surface.

Has the game been rigged against her since the start? How did the Trio Trust get so powerful? And why do they seem so afraid of Valentine Adesanya?
