Iggy (The Neddiad) and her friends head off to other planes to find some missing phantoms. The experience of this wacky, allusive, hilarious, indefatigable adventure in sixty-nine chapters recalls Joseph Campbell, a selection of children's literature, classic standup, and 1940s American pop culture. Nobody does this kind of witty confection better than Pinkwater, the original point-and-click mind.
