cinnamon buns made from Claudia's secret recipe. The Curse of the Von
Krumpelsteins is lifted at last, revealing twelve exciting window
treatments missing since Open School Day. Children are reconciled to
weeping parents who had hoped to be rid of them. Drab living rooms are
redecorated at a cost to fit every budget. The Magic Thing is returned to
its rightful home, humans and gnomes join hands in friendship, and the
Tooth Fairy is crowned. Sinners repent, criminals confess, poor posture is
corrected, ancient wrongs are righted, lost reputations are restored, and
leaking roofs are repaired. Healthful low-calorie tofu Black Forest cake is
now available to all, thanks to a miraculous new form of cookware
developed for use on uninhabitable planets. Ships survive the storm and
come safely into port; Albert's teeth are whiter than ever; airliners land
with a spunky flight attendant at the controls; trains pull into the station
amid cheering crowds, the Omadhaun of Space returns to Earth packed
with tasteful gifts for the waiting crowds, the roses bloom once more in
Mrs. Humbleton's garden, and storm windows open at the touch of a
finger, making them easier to clean than Uncle Henry. Rex escapes from
the pound and arrives at Timothy's bedside, restoring the child's will to
whine.
Yet significant questions remain unanswered. Will our hero accept the
challenge of Glenda of the Three Thumbs and join the quest for the Other
Magic Thing, or will he finish school, marry Ida, and manage the family
convenience store? Is Ralph really Sir Charles's long-lost grandmother?
Can Emily ever forgive Rudolph's indiscretion with the gladioli? Will
Tiffany and Dawn make the cheerleader squad? And what about Eugene
and the thumbtacks? Can the little food processor survive the onslaught of
the nutmegs? Will they love you in June as they do in May? Is commercial
real estate the investment opportunity of the decade ? Does it really suit
your active lifestyle? How did the murderer escape from the locked billiard
room of the Slumbottom mansion six years before the crime was
committed? Are you getting enough fiber, exercise, attention, and quality
time with your budgies? Will Jack and Reggie lead the relief column to the
lost oasis of Sidi-el-Shabbi in time to save Raul and Abdul? Will old Ad
Burful's rainmaking machine save the crops? Is there intelligent life
downtown? Should you see your doctor, or is it only gas?
