When magic came to Mil Speck, it came in the form of a sock. Figures, said Milo. So begins Milo’s adventure through a clothes dryer into Ogregon, a land populated with hungry ogres, dino-sized turkeys, kids needing rescue, and-Milo’s dad? What’s his regular-old salesman father doing in Ogregon? In fact, what’s Milo doing there? But the answers must wait-because the top priority for all non-ogres is escape.
