THE CURSE of the CROOKED CALENDAR Uri is helping his mother and sister prepare traditional goodies during the Holiday Season, when out of a package of doughnut mix [which bears her name] tumbles Geveret Shoshana! She is no plastic figure, but a miniscule person with special powers! After watching the goodies being prepared from the safety of Uri's pocket, Geveret Shoshana offers him the trip of a lifetime. Then she reduces him in size so that he can fly with her atop a doughnut.

They must make another journey - to a legendary and eerie place, where the solution lies,and this expedition is fraught with peril all the way...
