He likes school, cross-country running, his close friends and Lego. He wishes he was better at skate boardingThis is the story of a powerful, teenage genie named Kora. When Vennum, a crazed half-human half-genie, tries to take over her homeland, Kora is sent to earth by her father, the Emperor of Genesia, against her will. Once on earth she is, to her horror, quickly discovered and harnessed by a human boy, David. David's life is also in chaos, and at first a genie seems like the answer to all his prayers, but he soon finds out that having a genie isn't all it's cracked up to be. Kora is desperate to return home to help fight the battle against Vennum. She hates being harnessed by a stupid human boy and she hates the smell of this stinking place called Earth. But as the most powerful genie in Genesia and the Emperor's daughter, Vennum is obsessed with the idea of harnessing her and soon they find that Vennum's desire to harness her draws the battle for Genesia to Earth. Unable to be more than 100 metres apart at any time, Kora and David eventually develop a relationship that leads them to discover that the best way of helping themselves is to first help each other.
