**__ Jamie and her Genie   __** In a small town called Cucandanda there lived a girl named Jamie. Now Jamie didn’t have all the fancy stuff. She had beat up cloths. And dirty feet. She had to work to help her family. When Jamie was a little girl her grandpa told her about a magic genie. That would give people 5 wishes if they rubbed the lamp. Many people had tried and none succeeded. One day Jamie’s little brother got very sick. Jamie knew she had to help so she went to go get the genie’s lamp. It took Jamie two days to get to the genie’s cave. She walked straight into the cave. There was a smell of dead fish and burning paper. She walked in more and then she saw it. The lamp. Gold and shiny sitting right there. She suddenly realized that she had to cross a bridge over lava. The lava was boiling hot. Making her sweat from her head and eyes. She was half way when the bridge started to burn! She ran for the lamp. She grabbed it and she ran for the exit. She barely made it when a huge rock fell in front of her. She was stuck. The Lava was flowing towards her. Some how the lava was go up to the surface of the ground. She knew her only way out was the genie. She rubbed the lamp so hard her hands turned red. ** Boom! ** The Genie came out .As tall as an elephant as wide as a hippo. He said “What will be your first wish your majesty? I wish I could get out of here! She yelled. ** Poof! ** He proofed them all the way back to Cucandanda right in front of Jamie’s house. For her second wish she wished her brother was healthy and then she wished her family was very wealthy. For her fourth wish she wished that her family had a beautiful home. And for her fifth and final wish she made a wish for the genie. He said “I wish you would live in peace for the rest of your life. And Jamie and her family lived in peace for the rest of their life.

**Questions for Peer Reviewers**
(Think in terms of questions you would like to ask the author.)

2. Think about problems that the characters face. Are there complications that add enough suspense, tension, or interest? Is there a climax that satisfies you? Is the resolution satisfying? What could be added or changed?

3. Think of characterization—are the characters life-like? Are characters likable and enjoyable? Do we get a good sense of character from many of these: description, dialogue, narrator's opinion, discussion from other characters, the character’s own actions?

4. Think of imagery and details. Do they help you //see// and //hear// and //experience// the story? What details would you like to see in the next revision of the story?
