In The Trouble with Magic, two siblings, Barbara and Rick, set out on an unintended escapade while their parents are away on a business trip. A bad smell of cooking cabbage entices them to leave and find a remedy for the odor in the house. A sale on a single bottle at the General Store begins their adventure. While on their journey they learn lessons in magic as well as life, all while meeting a wizard and his dear friend, the sea serpent.
