History[]

Scream of the Evil Genie[]

Jenna is a genie that the readers can find in a cola can. She agrees to grant the readers three wishes, but she somewhat jokingly says that she doesn't clean windows and unironically says that she won't grant violent wishes. In most of this book's storylines, Jenna ends up granting wishes that harm the reader.

In one storyline, Jenna turns into a giant monster and refuses to grant the readers' wishes unless they can take her ring from her. In another storyline, Jenna takes the place of the readers' mother, which traps the readers' mother in a soda can. If the reader chooses to open the soda can that their mother is in, they unintentionally kill Jenna. In one ending, the reader wishes that Jenna was a human with no magic powers; the reader is sent back to their original home and everything seemingly returns to normal.

Checkout Time at the Dead-End Hotel[]

In one ending of this book, Jenna appears to the reader and insists that they are in the wrong book, saying that they should be in Scream of the Evil Genie. The reader's friend wishes to be in that book, and the reader is transported there. This ending is presented as good.

Goosebumps HorrorTown[]

Jenna appears in the Phantom of the Auditorium event. After Zeke Matthews goes missing, the mayor of HorrorTown, Louis Johnson, becomes worried about him, Officer Ramone gives a soda can to Mayor Johnson in order to call her down, and Mrs Johnson wishes for everything to be back to normal, unknowingly waking up Jenna who is inside the soda.

Mayor Johnson uses the machine to attack the town and soon afterwards, Jenna notices a boy which turns out to be Zeke, after this Mayor Johnson is arrested and Jenna decides that she will grant the rest of her wishes another time.
