There's no dancing around a demonic threat in the fantasy world of
Xanth in the New York Times-bestselling series.
Squid, the alien cuttlefish, is getting an upgrade: a boost to her
shape-changing talent so she can lead a mission against a foreign Demon
who's stirring up trouble in Xanth. At Squid's side are her rescued
siblings and one very special child--Larry, a girl in a boy's body, who
will act as a secret host for their adoptive mother, the Demoness
Fornax.
Aboard the Fire Boat, they form a plan to disguise themselves as a
traveling dance troupe. Each child is paired up with a native Xanthian.
But it's the friendship that blossoms between Squid and Larry that will
power their quest, and they'll have to do some fancy footwork to avoid
the trials and tribulations that await them.
