Best punchline in a fantasy book, ever

"Use the spell, fool."
- Michael Scott, The Face In The Frost

If you haven't read this short little wonder by John Bellairs, go, buy it, read it. It is wonderful. I read it to the kids out loud last year and they were enrapt and completely "got it". Tonight I promised my very cynical 22 year old $5 if she would read it (about two hours worth of effort for her) and be able to tell me what the punchline of the book was. You get to know, first.

But really - read it.

The above punchline, even known in advance, will hit you upside the head and make you laugh out loud when you stumble upon it.

Enjoy.

[And Aaron, Mack is totally ready for this book.]
