I had open expectations for this book. Definitely geared towards a middle grade - early young adult section. To me it felt like an Aladdin inspiration from the beginning part where the narrator is talking to us and we find out that they are a Djinn (Genie). They then take us through a story of a young boy and his acceptance for what he has. This is setup for multiple books in the series and would easily be a great series for younger readers.

This first installment of the Bizzare Bazarr is a quick and fun read that will appeal to a lot of kids. The art, coloring, layout, and text are all standard and easy for readers to follow. The bazaar owners popping in every now again doesn't affect the flow, but their introduction in the beginning took a minute for me to fully get.
The story moves a little quickly, but we still get a good understanding of Abel's character and motivations. His story does not resolve fully at the end, which might leave readers upset about having to wait for the next one. It looks as though the second book will pick up where his story left off but focus on staying in his friend group.
Worth adding to your library shelves - I'm keeping a lookout for book 2.
