In the second to last chapter of 'Julio's Day,' Young Julio Juan lives out his gay dreams the way old Julio could never live out his own.

Suddenly, Lulu has the chance to save the last remaining wild animals on earth, but she'll have to battle the Peppermint Man and the Great Trading Company in order to defeat the capitalist machine out to ruin the natural world. The Magic Bottle is presented in a faux-children's book format, though its aimed squarely at adults and young adults. Hardcover, 10-in. x 10-in., 48 pages, full color. Cover price $14.95.
