Author: Piers Anthony
Rating: Five Guitars

Sizzilin' Summary:
This time, it's Bink and Chameleon's son's turn! Dor is to be the next King of Xanth, being the only one of Magician level magic to do so. But he has to prove his worth. His nursemaid, Millie, was once a ghost. Her lover is Jonathan. The problem? Jonathan is a zombie!
So King Trent sends Dor on a quest to get a certain elixir that can restore Jonathan to life... even though Dor's only twelve, and the elixir's in the past! Dor goes through a portal, and takes over the body of a warrior man. He meets the giant spider Jumper, who becomes Dor's best friend in this new time line world of Xanth. But there's a war, and a curse, in the air. Can Dor and Jumper not only find the elixir, but help to save a King in history? And can Dor learn something about growing up in order to someday be King?

Rockin' Review:
This was a very good book. It had more comedy than the other two, but it was inter-weaved with a very good story. The third book of the Xanth series is definitely an improvement of the famous series. It was also very neat to find out some of the secrets of the Xanth world.
I definitely suggest this book. It's rockin'!
