I tried posting this in the Books: Fiction forum but had little luck:

I am re-posting here s I have been thinking about it again and it is really bugging me that I can't find someone who has read this book.

I need help remembering the title of a book I read in 4th grade and would like to revisit. That means it must have been published before 1993. Here are plot points or details I remember:

- a boy is in class and is called to the principals office
- when he enters the principal's office he is in another dimension
- he soon is given or finds a plate that will materialize any food he speaks, I believe he eats a lot of ice cream at first
- I believe his quest is to vanquish a wolf or dog-like creature
- To do this he must adventure to find three strands and combine them to form a special weapon
- One of the strands is obtained from a woman who gives him a satchel. At first the boy is disappointed that he did not obtain a strand as expected from the woman but then he realizes the string that is around the satchel is one of the strands

cover:
I remember a cream or light yellow colored hardcover book with a red sun a wolf creature and a mountain in black outline I think

I hope this is enough information to elicit a title from someone who may have read the book.

Thanks for your help DU.
