Synopsis: There&’s no dancing around a demonic threat in the fantasy world of Xanth in the New York Times–bestselling series. Squid, the alien cuttlefish, is getting an upgrade: a boost to her shape-changing talent so she can lead a mission against a foreign Demon who&’s stirring up trouble in Xanth. At Squid&’s side are her rescued siblings and one very special child—Larry, a girl in a boy&’s body, who will act as a secret host for their adoptive mother, the Demoness Fornax. Aboard the Fire Boat, they form a plan to disguise themselves as a traveling dance troupe. Each child is paired up with a native Xanthian. But it&’s the friendship that blossoms between Squid and Larry that will power their quest, and they&’ll have to do some fancy footwork to avoid the trials and tribulations that await them.
