Every Geo-cacher's pet peeve -- a micro in the woods. use parking
for GC23JY7 -- school forest parking. Pet peeve is named for the
29th hilarious adventure in Piers Anthony's beloved fantasy series.
Xanth is a place where "appearance counts for most of reality" and
nearly everyone has some magical talent, even if it is only the
ability to change the color of popcorn. We thought this cache
series was finished but just like the book series ... it keeps on
going.
This novel follows polite, generous and even-tempered Goody Goblin
– an anomaly among males of his race, who are usually crass,
unkind and violent. Goody is assigned by the Good Magician Humfrey
to find a appropriate abode for the Pet Peeve--a foul-mouthed fowl
who insults anyone it encounters, Goody reluctantly sets out on
this daunting quest, armed only with a bag of half-spent spells,
and guarded by a brawny woman warrior called Hannah Barbarian.
Goody passes through many parts and meets many people of Xanth,
none of whom is willing to take the dangerously annoying bird off
his hands.
But when Goody's mission unknowingly triggers an invasion of Xanth
by a horde of mechanical marauders from a faraway Robot World, he
must enlist the aid of Xanth's many denizens. And, in the heart of
Goblin Mountain, Goody finds an unexpected ally—Gwenny
Goblin, a beautiful, strong-willed goblin chief who can help him
rally Xanth to repel the robot army, and perhaps mend his broken
heart as well.
