Another delightful CHICKS IN CHAINMAIL. Take some anal-retentive school officials, a few not-so-tough home-boys and a wizard whose transformed magic staff isn't working quite right. Add a sleazy preacher, three kidnapped children stuck in a strange dimension, and top with a barbarian warrior-lady who really prefers direct action to tact---said direct action generally accomplished with a sharp sword. Fun!
From back cover: The Pen Is Mightier Than the Sword (But Sometimes Paper Just Isn't Enough...) Just because mild-mannered suburban mom Riva Konneva was a warrior woman from an alternate reality didn't mean she got out of going on field trips. Nor could she just slash and hack her way through parent-teacher meetings, as she earnestly desired when confronted with administrators who tried to tell her that her child belonged in program for the emotionally disturbed because she showed too much initiative. No, Riva had come to the Planet of the Paper-Pushers to give her daughter the kind of education she, a simple girl from the mountains, had never received, and now she was going to have learn a whole new way of fighting. With paper... On the other hand, sometimes, such as when old enemies arrive out of nowhere, intent on slaughtering one's children; paper just isn't enough....
