Phoebe has wanted to be a witch since she was four years old, when witches transformed a barren, rundown park in her town into a thriving and beautiful spot with flowerbeds in full bloom and swings for the children. Witches are what keep the world spinning. They are responsible for beauty and magic--and Phoebe wants desperately to join their ranks. But as a clumsy fifth grader, she doubts she ever could.

One day, perched in her favorite tree, Phoebe tumbles into the midst of a circle of witches. As luck would have it, her clumsiness might just be what makes all of her dreams come true. But being an apprentice to a group of witches is harder than she imagined.

This action-packed story follows Phoebe as she flies--and stumbles--toward becoming a full-fledged witch.
