Synopsis: 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
