In this last installment of Jane Yolen's trio of books about ordinary objects with extraordinary uses, the humble stick is lauded as "a sword to tame monsters of dread" and "an oar for a rowboat in puddle or pond," among other imaginative functions.

In this sequel to What to Do with a Box, Jane Yolen extolls the marvellous virtues of string, a material that can snag the spirit of adventure, lasso the limitless horizons of imagination, and connect us to one another.
