About this eBook
This Xanth villain is full of hot air. “Anthony’s unflagging sparkle, verve and wordplay spin everyday trials of Mundane life into storytelling gold” (Publishers Weekly).
A fickle flux in the fabric of space has allowed a horrendous hurricane to blast into Xanth, stirring up mischief and madness wherever she goes. Trapped in a preposterous form by a cosmic wager, the Demon X(A/N)th must join forces with a vexatious vixen named Chlorine to save Xanth from this terrifying and tempestuous threat. Their companions on this haphazard quest are a hapless human family—Jim and Karen Baldwin and their two teenage sons, David and Sean—gusted into Xanth from the mundane world beyond. Together they encounter a host of turbulent misadventures as they struggle to keep Xanth from being blown off the map forever.
“Just the thing for pun-happy funsters.” —Kirkus Reviews

SPOILERS ALERT! To see the Demon Xanth become a pertinent character in the story was very refreshing and loved how Anthony made him relevant and omnipotent but not overly so as to make the story predictable. Loved that he fell for a human woman. The ending was sad however if you immediately start reading the next book, you'll see that everything turned out. Loved this book!

Touched by the chance to experience an adventure from Xanths perspective. Cried a few tears at the end, really liked the mundane familys struggles to adapt to the land. I felt myself drawn in empathy to Chlorine and her family dysfunction. I keep missing favorite characters like Ivy and Dor, nice to see them in brief cameo.
