I found this book tucked away in a huge discount mall. I instantly fell for the cover and begged my parents to let me get it. I was not disappointed. I spent the next three months rereading it religiously. I still shout kingfish I'm your biggest fan to all my friends and family I made read it. This book will take you into its magical world and you'll find it hard to get back out.

...interesting glimpse into past writing of an author I enjoy now. The entire time I was reading it, I felt like I was looking through one of those kaleidoscope toys, trying to follow all the bits of glass around the mirrors...what WAS that?!!

I can see the writers having a ball mailing chapters back & forth - better than a game of 'Telephone'. Still, it was a little...raucous.
