I asked XT if Xena was in it, but didn't think to ask about Lucy. Not sure about following her into the wardrobe, though. I'm a bit claustrophobic.

Next time I'm in Border's, I *might* wander by the children's section (contingent upon no children being there) and *maybe* look for these. I'll know to start with the one that has ::shudder:: "wardrobe" in the title. If I read that, can I skip to "The Last Battle"? I like the sound of that one for some reason. - -- Ife ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
