So, what do you want for your birthday?

That's one question Tanda and Skeeve don't bother to ask Aahz in Myth Directions. Tanda has every intention of getting something utterly unique for Aahz... and she doesn't mean to buy it. She's looking to steal, so of course she brings Skeeve along since he once wanted to be a theif.

She chooses what has to be the ugliest thing Skeeve has ever seen. It's a Trophy that two cities play a game for every year, and it determines which city will rule that year.

But the theft goes wrong, and Skeeve has to call in some help.

As with the other Myth books, you really need to be in the mood for some very light reading. This is a short book and there is nothing serious about it. That makes it perfect for those times when you really need a laugh. If you're looking for something to make you think, keep looking. But I do enjoy this series at those times that I'm too tired for something more challenging.
