    About this ebook

    All the kids in eight-year-old Jay’s neighborhood in Washington D.C. have gone crazy for Frosted Fruity Smacks, the delicious new cereal especially for kids. Not only is Frosted Fruity Smacks colorful and tasty—every box comes with its own unique surprise!
    Jay and his younger brother Ryan begs their mom to buy them a box of the cereal and can hardly wait to see what their prizes are. But unlike his brother and his friends, who get cool prizes like two-headed dragons and temporary tattoos, Jay gets a boring miniature lamp that looks a lot like Aladdin’s, but can’t do anything special—or so Jay thinks!
    It isn’t until he accidentally wishes for something while holding the little lamp that Jay realizes his prize is more than meets the eye. A beautiful genie named Gabby lives inside, and she’s ready and willing to grant Jay’s every wish! At first Jay is ecstatic. How amazing it is to have everything he could possibly want right at his fingertips!
    But soon Jay’s secret is discovered by his next door neighbor, Nikki, who also wants to have wishes granted. It isn’t long until they both realize that having a genie of their own just might be more trouble than it’s worth....
    Jay and the Genie is the first book in a series of 'The Adventures of Jay Starks', a set of children's reader books that feature African American children.
    It is written by Lamont Clark and self published through 70 West Press.

      Chapter One:

      Greatest Toy of All Time

      One Friday evening Jay and his younger brother Ryan were watching their favorite TV show ‘Super Powered Pigs’, when a commercial for Frosted Fruity Smacks came on.

      "Sugar on the front, Fruit in the back. All kids love Frosted Fruity Smacks! Eat them for breakfast, eat them for snacks, you can eat them all day and that’s a fact…Frosted Fruity Smacks! Frosted Fruity Smacks! And now inside every box of Frosted Fruity Smacks is a free surprise prize! Will you get the greatest toy of all time!? You won’t know until you get your box of Frosted Fruity Smacks! Sugar on the front..."

      Jay knew that all the kids in his school were going crazy over the prizes they found inside of Frosted Fruity Smacks. Some of the prizes were really super cool. He knew that Mikey got a Spooky Speedster Car in his box, and Aliya got a Color Changing Dinosaur. But probably best of all was Jason who got a pack of Temporary Tattoos. The pack had 10 different cool tattoos that washed off easily.

      Jay just knew that he had to get a box of Frosted Fruity Smacks so he could get a cool toy just like his friends.

      MOOOOOOOOOOM!! Can we go to the store to buy some Frosted Fruity Smacks!?? asked Jay.

      "Yeah Mom, Pllleeeeeaaase" begged Ryan.

      Okay boys, I’m about to go to the market now to pick up a few things for the weekend. I will pick up a box of Rooty Tooty Fruity for you said Mom.

      "No, no, no mom! First, it’s not Rooty
