Jabala and the Jinn, (Paperback)

Jabala and the Jinn is an award-winning play for family audiences.

We're in Bradford. It's been a few months since Jabala's beloved Mum died. Dad is a brilliant father, but it's an effort to get to school on time every day.

One morning, when she says goodbye to her house as usual, Jabala hears a voice replying to her in Arabic. But no one's there. Could it be Mum? Has she imagined it?

With the help of a 'Refugee Boy' at school, a Shakespeare enthusiast called Munir, she summons... a Jinn. But this is no ordinary 'Jinn', as told in grandma's stories about genies and Jabala is in for a surprise.

As the day of Eid approaches, events take a drastic turn and Jabala is forced to make some difficult decisions. Will things come together in time for the big celebration?

A funny and endearing story for the whole family.
