Book Description
A merwoman and a goblin girl each take on dangerous quests in this hilarious fantasy adventure by a New York Times–bestselling author. In Xanth, almost everything is magic, and whatever isn’t is probably lying. The land is also more dangerous than the sea, but that isn’t going to stop Mela Merwoman, who is searching for a husband. With her options running low, she transforms into a human and leaves the safety of the sea to ask Good Magician Humfrey for assistance. But before Mela can begin her quest, she must first indulge in the landbound custom of wearing clothes, which means picking out what to wear . . . from the trees, of course. While Mela can pick her clothes, Gwenny Goblin cannot pick her family. Her awful half-brother, Gobble, will be the next chief of the goblin horde, if Gwenny doesn’t take the title first. To do so, she must prove her courage through stealing an egg that lies between a deadly roc and a hard place. With the help of Che Centaur and Jenny Elf—and maybe even Mela—Gwenny just might make it back home alive . . .

Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
A gargoyle finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place in this Xanth adventure that “should delight Anthony’s many fans” (Publishers Weekly). As a gargoyle, Gary Gar has one job in Xanth: to protect the Swan Knee River from the pollution flowing in from Mundania. But more dirt plus less rain will crack any gargoyle’s stony composure. So Gary does what any good Xanthian would do: He seeks the help of the Good Magician. But payment for his service is high. Gary must find a philter for the water, while taking on human form to tutor a wild human child, with help from the surly Sorceress Iris, and—even though time is of the essence—taking Hiatus, a known troublemaker, along for the ride. It won’t be easy, especially when they’re all transported back to the dawn of time. And if they can’t figure out what’s going on in the past, there may be no future for Xanth—come hell or high water . . . “Ephemeral amusement for pun-struck Xanthonauts.” —Kirkus Reviews
