(4) K-3 When Mrs. Beggs rents a room in her boarding house to a wizard, strange things begin to happen. The book features Mayer's exaggerated humor and many of the monsters familiar to his fans. The course of the plot, if not the details, is predictable, even to the cliffhanger ending when a new unsavory creature knocks on Mrs. Beggs's door.
