Willow doesn’t think much of her magical power – the ability to find things.  Her older sister have mighty, showy powers. Then one day the infamous witch Moreg Vaine comes to Willow asking Willow to help her find an entire missing day. First Willow will need to find an oublier, a forgotten teller – a person who can see the things in the past no one wants to have remembered. Willow takes along Oswin, the monster under her bed. When Moreg gets taken by the Brothers of Wol, an anti-magic group, Willow must continue on with the help of Feathering, a dragon, to free Moreg and solve the problem of the Lost Day.

I’m glad to know that we will be seeing more of Willow Moss and Starfell.  I have no idea where the story is going to go from here, but Willow’s first story was a delight.
