In the last instalment of this superb fantasy trilogy, Felix has to make his third trip across the Divide in order to rescue someone who has carelessly become trapped inside a magic lamp. Elizabeth Kay confronts us with not one but two new villains - Rhino and the Jinx box - plus the savage snagglefangs and a devious and resourceful Brandee (a slightly different kind of spirit from a Genie!) Meanwhile Fuzzy is growing up, and Grimspite is coming to terms with his conscience - which he's finding difficult, since he's the first sinistrom ever to have one. The plot twists and turns entertainingly, and culminates in a clever ending unlike anything I have ever read before.

You are guaranteed to enjoy this one - but you will enjoy it even more if you have read The Divide and Back to the Divide first.

Wow. Thats all I can say about this book. I must say that The Divide series has always been my favorite fantasy series (sorry, Harry Potter). That said, I believe that this is the best book of that series. I couldnt stop reading it. The plot was well developed, throwing in hints about the ending everywhere, then revealing eveything at the end. I will not spoil the ending, but the way it ended i don't think that there will be any more books. It's not a sad ending, just ties the whole series up very nicely. But, you never know...

I would recomend this book to anyone, it doesn't matter if you dont like fantasy that much, you will enjoy this book, I'm sure of it.

Are you looking for the perfect book? Have you looked every where and still no luck? Well that perfect book has come to you! The Jinx on the Divide is the best fantasy ever created. I fell in love with the book. The story is about a boy named Felix who can visit another world. Betony, Felix's friend form the Divide, comes over for a visit but there is one problem, the brandee (from book two) is causing so much destruction. So Felix and Betony, start another adventure in the Divide. To make matters worse Rhino, the school trouble maker, is captured in the brandee's lamp and is taken into Divide. Inside the lamp, Rhino finds a jinx box, and that is where this all the trouble begins.

This book isn't your normal fantasy book. It's hard to follow through unless you read The Divide and Back to the Divide. This is very important! For example, a brittlehorn is a unicorn, a brazzle is a griffin, and there is many more where that came from. That is one of the reasons why I like it. If you like books that have very good cliff hangers, this is the book for you. Almost every chapter is one. The book is from every main charter's point of view (in third person). The chapter would end at someone's point of view, and then the next chapter would start with a different person. It's like five stories in one. I would highly recommend this book to everyone would anyone who likes fantasy and likes a good mystery. People who like action would like this book too. This book is the perfect combination of every thing. The book will keep you at the edge of your set it is so good. This book would be a smart buy.

In this book Felix and his world arn't in danger. It is Betony's. Felix's class bully Rhino and a Genie have left to the other side of the divide and Rhino is going to tell how to use SCIENCE to the magical world. Then to top it all off a Jinx box is making lots of chaos and may effect Felix, Betony, and Rhino's lives forever! The ending is so unbelievable! They have to make a 4th book!

After reading The Divide I thought it was impossible for Elizabeth Kay to produce a more tightly packed novel. I was wrong. Back to the Divide was faster, funnier and had more twists in it than a bucket of electric eels. How she has managed to cram even more plot twists and an even more ingenious villain (the Jinx Box) into this last book of the series is stunning.

If you aren't blown away by Elizabeth's amazing writing skills then you don't know what an outstanding fantasy novel is. But don't take my word for it, read it yourself!

The Divide Trilogy is a great read, especially for kids in middle school and up. In my opinion it is more of what young minds should be reading, especially with the mathematical aspects of the story. Highly recommended!

I actually ordered these for my daughter. She picked them out and I did every thing else. She was pleasantly surprised. She just wanted to make sure they were readable. She said it was better then she expected. Except for the delivery charges ( alittle disappointing) I think she even finished reading them all. It was one of her favorite stories.

i really love this series i found the second book which is the first one i read when i was in a used book store in Indiana for the summer .i had no idea that it was a series till i looked it up i liked the second book so much i had to get the first one and the third one

Magic spells, mythical creatures, and evil plots. Isn't that the kind of characteristics you would want in a book? Jinx on the Divide is the third book of a trilogy. This book uses descriptive, strong words that hook you in. I recommend jinx on the Divide because the first two books had amazing storylines that kept you going and this book keeps it going.

If you've never read Jinx on the Divide, then you don't know how the character Felix travels to another dimension. It is set in England as Felix tries to help a genie turn into a solid being, but the genie takes a human boy as a hostage to ensure his cooperation. If the story sounds good so far then you should pickup the book and read the rest.

Jinx on the Divide contains the struggle between good and evil. I would recommend this book to the ages of 12 to 14 years because the book contains many descriptive words. Also it is a fantasy book because some of the characters are mythical creatures and they use magic spells.

Jinx on the Divide is very similar to Back to the Divide. They are both written by the same author and contain some of the same characters. In Jinx on the divide, Felix tries to help a genie become solid, but in back to the Divide, Felix tries to save his parents form being turned to stone for ever.

Jinx on the Divide had many strengths. First, the prologue with in the book helps recap where the last book left off and to help you remember the last books ending incase you never read the book before. Second, the author uses different names for the mythical creatures like an elf was called a tangle child and a pixie was called a japegrin. Third, the author finishes the book in a way where you think it will continue in to another book, but it can't because of the last event. Lastly, the author makes the characters interact in a way that makes you feel like you are right next to them.

In conclusion, Jinx on the Divide turned out to be an amazing story. The plot is perfect, the words are as descriptive as possible, and the characters are beyond imaginable. I hope if you read this review you will by this book and enjoy it.

After following this series from the first one (the divide) jinx on the divide was a great book , but some was a little wierd like the ending! overall it is almost perfect with all the action and mystery and a surprise at every corner.
