When Grant the Genie is cast out of Genie World, he lands on Earth with a big, fat bump! Without a lamp to call home, he has to settle for an old cracked teapot instead. Grant is very lonely until he meets the puppy, Teeny. Then Genie and Teeny are kidnapped by the evil purple-loving Lavinia Lavender, and find themselves on-course for a rollercoaster of an adventure—when all they really want is a place to call home.

Grant the Genie is happy living in the real world in a teapot with his best friend, the dog Teeny. But keeping a genie a secret on Earth is harder than they’d both thought - especially when Grant wants to go to school with Teeny’s owner, Tilly. Then Grant accidentally gives three wishes to the school’s bully, and a whole heap of trouble ensues. Will they be able to make everything right again? Or is that just wishful thinking?

When Grant starts to miss his old life in Genie World, Teeny has a plan on how he can get the genie home for a flying visit. But as usual, where wishes are involved, nothing is quite that simple and they soon find out they’re in for a rollercoaster of a ride!

Back home, in the land of Wishaluzia, Grant is enjoying his old life. But when trouble strikes he realises he’ll need a helping hand. Can Teeny lend a paw and save the day? Or will it be the end of Genie Land forever?
