Joy is not eager to leave her mother and new brother at home to start school—but then she hears there is magic in the building! Join Joy as she discovers that sometimes magic shows up in the most unexpected ways.
A ode to librarians everywhere, this story is inspired by Frances Martindale who retired from The Gordon School after 31 years of nurturing young minds.
