Publisher's Synopsis
There is magic in these nine stories, two poems, and single work of creative nonfiction. Among its wild array of visions are a band of ruffians waylaying "Living Books" on a strangely Earth-like planet; a cat-like alien astronaut whose ship lands at the bottom of an English garden; a hilarious case of "cat-o-strophic spelling" in New York City and some more cosmically fortunate magic at a school for young wizards; a Native American "ghost walker" fighting evil "spiderlings" on a distant asteroid; and a comedy - set in more familiar Hoosier territory - of middle-aged lovers in crisis, a rebellious teenager, and a biker gang leader named Mongo.
