Book Description:
Since Xanth began, the gargoyles of that magical place have been under a magical compulsion to protect the purity of the Swan Knee River which flows in to Xanth from dreary Mundania. But recently the pollution from the outside world has grown ever greater, and young Gary Gar, latest in a long line of gargoyle guardians, is finding it ever more difficult to fulfill his responsibilities.
So Gary does what any sensible Xanth resident with a dire dilemma would do. He goes to see the Good Magician Humfrey, who sends him on a peculiar quest--to transform himself into human shape, tutor a precocious child with more than her share of wild magical talents, and find a philter which can restore the river to its previous pristine state.

A gargoyle is sent on a quest to try to find a way to reverse the pollution damage in one of Xanth's rivers. This is once again the typical Anthony Xanth formula, but if you love it, you'll still love it. Some of the overlooked bit characters from the early days of the series get some time here. It's worth a shot.

Karina F. (I love all of his Xanth books. They're innocent but fun.
One of the many Xanth novels, with all the puns and wordplay to be expected of the series. This one follows Gary Gar, a gargoyle who's taken human form.
A New Xanth Adventure! Join Gary Gar, a guileless young gargoyle disguised as a human, on a perilous pilgrimage in pursuit of a philter to rescue the magical Land of Xanth from an ancient evil.
