Broomsticks
will take you on an unforgettable, magical journey. It's a children's
story about a special friendship and a magic you find in just being
yourself. An engaging story guaranteed to charm you. Nine-year-old
Pocky McQuire knows she's different but has no idea why—not until she
attends a school for gifted students. There she meets a strange boy with
a goatee. From the moment she meets him, she knows he's different.
Stamp (the strange boy) wants nothing to do with Pocky. Nothing to do
with anyone mortal. After
learning a few things about him, Pocky hopes to become friends as she
yearns for him to teach her a few tricks of the trade. Turns
out Stamp is a little more gifted than she expected. But, Stamp is a
sorcerer who doesn't need a novice. Suddenly she doesn't feel as alone
in the world. Levitating books and freezing angry dogs in their tracks
doesn't seem so bad after all. But will it take a special kind of magic to bring these two similar souls together? Broomsticks is an enchanting tale sure to entertain all ages.Katherine
