Zipporah Chava McConnell (or Zippy for short) is being forced to prepare for her bat mitzvah even though she suspects no one will come. She knows people think she is weird but magic has always been the one thing in her life that makes sense. Having been casting spells for as long as she can remember, she doesn't really care that no one else believes, until she accidentally conjures a beautiful girl with no memory and wings like an angel . . .
Genuinely bewitching and occasionally eerie, The Witch of Woodland asks tough spiritual questions throughout its story of one girl's quest to answer the seemingly unanswerable inquiries about what makes people who they are.
“Compelling from the first page. There’s much to ponder in The Witch of Woodland about friendship, family dynamics, and religion, and Zippy’s growth is hard-earned and deserved.” -- Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
