About This Book
This early reader introduces Heidi Heckelbeck, a second grader who has been homeschooled her entire life and is now entering public school. The story centers on her adjustment to a new environment, the challenges of making friends, and dealing with a "mean girl" named Melanie. What makes Heidi unique is her secret: she's a witch. The narrative gently explores themes of self-acceptance, bravery in new situations, and the importance of kindness, all while Heidi tries to keep her magical abilities under wraps. It's a comforting read for children aged 6-9 who might be experiencing similar transitions or social anxieties.
