<p><strong>When her family must move once more, Ophelia uses her imagination to make magic out of a scary situation.</strong></p>

<p>Giant rabbits with sharp teeth circle the old motel where they are staying. Ophelia can also hear crow-witches cackling from the trees. And when it’s time to go to her new school, she encounters an ogre who blocks the road with his giant ogre laughs. </p>

<p>But most frightening of all is when Ophelia is left in her new class and realizes that everyone speaks French. Except her. </p>

<p>The kids stare, and Ophelia feels like a fish in a fishbowl. But equipped with the magic of a sheet of white paper and a rainbow of pencils, she will find a way to cast her own spells over the class. </p>

<p>Inspired by events from her own childhood, beloved children’s author-illustrator Marie-Louise Gay weaves a wonderful tale of imagination, creativity and resilience as the keys to children’s power in an uncertain world.</p>
