Cube route

by Piers Anthony

When a Xanth woman wishes for beauty, she embarks on a rollicking quest across the magical world—and into our own—in this witty fantasy adventure. The young woman named Cube didn't expect anything to come of her wistful, whispered words. But in the magical realm of Xanth, wishes are serious business. Soon, Cube is leading a colorful crew on a quest to find the elusive Cube Route: a perilous path that promises to grant her heart's desire. Crossing the expansive world of Xanth is only the beginning of their adventure. Entering the human world, Cube finds herself rescuing a beautiful damsel in distress. But in a topsy-turvy Counter-Xanth, anything can be transformed into its opposite, and Cube finally comes face to face with the beauty she yearns for . . .
