Being grown up is a drag . . . or so thinks Lacuna, one of the michievous Castle Zombie twins. So she makes the Good Magician Grey an an offer he can''t refuse. Thirsty for a taste of the Elixir of Youth, she''ll help him outwit the evil Com-Pewter if he''ll send her to Hell (in a handbasket, no less) to find Humphrey, the missing sorcerer. And while there, she''ll learn the True History of Xanth (simplified) and help rescue a blushing Rose from the demon X(A/N) . . . with the help of a gorgon or two.
