Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Imagine a world like ours, except that among its inhabitants are several species of animals-turned-human, called Newlies, who still bark and growl but also speak and wear breeches and swords. In that world are two warring kings, one nuttier than a fruitcake and the other sane and sound, though a bizarre religious practice requires him to imitate the sleep of the dead for months, which enables an evil sorcerer to plot and scheme unimpeded. On this happy scene arrives Master Lizard-Maker Finn; his prized mechanical lizard, Julia Jessica Slagg, a dangerous and darling creature possessed of needle-sharp teeth, a ferret's brain, and an ironic wit; and Finn's Newlie lady-love, gentle Letitia Louise. Their mission is to deliver a remarkable birthday gift from their king in a hot-air balloon in the middle of a war whose cause no one remembers. A hostile giant is their only companion and guide. Highly entertaining and, in an odd sort of way, quite civilized. Paula Luedtke
