When the dog he is caring for runs away from Alan into the forbidden garden of a retired dog-hating magician, a spell seems to be cast over the contrary dog. - Baker & Taylor
The fine line between illusion and reality becomes blurred for Alan Mitz the day he stumbles into Abdul Gasazi's garden, an eerie place where strange topiary trees loom and the evil visage of Gasazi casts its shadow - HARPERCOLL
From the astonishing imagination of Chris Van Allsburg (Jumanji, The Polar Express)
A Caldecott Honor Book
Sometimes that very thin line between illusion and reality is not as clearly defined as we would like it to be. It certainly wasn't the day that Alan Mitz stumbled into the garden of Abdul Gasazi. For in this bizarre and eerie placeâwhere strange topiary trees loomedâthe eerie visage of Gasazi casts its shadow. And even after Alan escapes, the spell of Gasazi still seems to penetrate into his everyday world.
The very first picture book from the astonishing imagination of legendary Chris Van Allsburg explores both the real and surreal worlds with incredible deftness in this unusual tale. In doing so, he has created exquisite and beautiful images that will linger in the minds of readers long after they have left the enchanted garden of Abdul Gasazi.
