The Garden of Abdul Gasazi
by Chris Van Allsburg (Author)
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.
Alan accidentally allows Miss Hester's dog, Fritz, to enter a magician's garden and is horrified when he thinks Fritz has been turned into a duck.
