Hurricane Happy Bottom is causing problems in Mundania and Xanth. The Mundane Baldwin family is blown into Xanth by a Yon Ill Wind, a tropical storm that threatens the land's existence. To save Xanth and to win a cosmic wager, the Demon X(A/N) must become Nimby, a mortal, ass-headed pink-and-green-striped dragon. His name stands for Not In My Back Yard, an apt description of where he is welcome in his natural form (i.e., nowhere). He is granted speech for one moment, is bound to the first person he associates with, and can act only at the directives of that person. He must remain so until that person sheds a tear for him. He meets the hard-hearted maiden Chlorine and makes her beautiful and talented. Chlorine's talent is to poison water. Together with the Baldwin family, they must banish Happy Bottom From Xanth. Anthony relates each episode of this frothy adventure through a different character's eyes in order to reinforce a gentle lesson about gifts and responsibilities.
