Demons Don't Dream

Series fans will find themselves right at home as a computer game draws two players into the illusion-, pun-, and dragon-filled land of Xanth (Kirkus Reviews). Sixteen-year-old Dug has yet to be impressed by a computer game, but thats before he gets hooked by Companions of Xanthand the beguilingly beautiful princess-serpent hes chosen to guide him. Nada Naga has her work cut out for her keeping Dugs eyes on the magical prize . . . and off of her human form. Kim is no stranger to Xanth, which is why she chooses her favorite companion, Jenny Elf, to accompany her through its marvelsand dangers. Though Kims hyper-enthusiasm is infectious, she doesnt really believe that Xanth is real, and its up to Jenny to prove it. What the two players dont know is that theres more at stake than winning; the very existence of Xanth hangs in the balance. Demons may run the game, but there are voids to avoid, loan sharks to outswim, and Com Pewterthe most evil machine of allto outwit. Not to mention that a companion may be just as willing to sabotage Dug and Kim as help them succeed . . . The legions of Xanth readers can rest assured that [Demons Dont Dream] contains plenty of the punningly named animals, vegetables, people and things (such as the Ice Queen Clone and the Censor-Ship) that have become the series raison detre.
