Miranda's Magic

by Don Maker

Overview

What if you had powers that were ... well, like a witch? You know, moving things around without touching them, starting fires without a match, making plants grow from a seed-little things like that. At first, learning the family secret is fun and exciting for soon-to-be fourteen Miranda Hutton. But what if her ability to control the elements around her suddenly becomes a matter of survival? And what if-horrors!-the complete extent of her powers depends on her knowledge of science?
