What is Castle in the Air about?

Abdullah is a young merchant whose dreams of adventure seem unlikely to come true—until he buys a shabby magic carpet. One night, the carpet carries him to a magnificent garden, where he meets Flower-in-the-Night and falls in love. When a djinn kidnaps the princess, Abdullah sets off to rescue her, accompanied by a grumpy carpet, a troublesome genie, a dishonest soldier and a sharp-tongued cat. Their journey leads to a floating castle filled with secrets, danger and stolen princesses.
