This used to be one of my absolute favorites growing up. I had the version with the cover you see in the entry. The concept of the magic shop that shows up and then disappears was something I loved too, reminiscent of the point and click adventure games I used to play like So You Want to Be a Hero.

Bruce Coville overall is a big part of why I’m in a place like TTI :wink:
