Humanity Ensues: Jafar wishing all magic in the world away has the side effect of turning Genie into a human, with the only hint of his former nature being a slight blue tint to his skin. Since magic is as natural to Djinns as something like walking upright or reading books is to humans, he's not happy about this turn of events. And he's none too fond of the whole walking thing either. Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The whole situation of this novel arises because Tinkerbell prefers to keep Peter away from the Darling house rather than help him retrieve his shadow, which leads to a bitter Wendy making a deal with Hook and giving him access to Peter's shadow.
