Similar in concept to Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth, this title expands upon the idea of a world ruled by wordplay. The catch is, the only way to get rid of the curse is to find Logos's long-missing princess. Cursed by trolls, Hudson needs Charlotte's help. Just watch out-the unicorns help only the ones who are pure of heart. Visitors can pay a fairy to ferry them across a river by offering up a memory or have a delicious pastry made up of the word friendship. In the magical world called Logos, the rules are determined by words, thoughts, and memories. But when his sister Bonnie's cat gets sick, Hudson winds up in a magical world trying to get medicine for it, all thanks to a compass given to him by his kooky neighbor Charlotte. Gr 4–6-Hudson Brown hasn't believed in magic in a long time.
