Wanda finds herself nervous about having to talk at school. Sometimes her words won't come out at all. But she finds that there is power with even just one word at the right moment. 

This is a sweet story more about friendship than about overcoming shyness. The characters are all witches, and the setting is a school for learning magic. It's cute, but not spell-binding. 

Keri, elementary school teacher
