Pitiful Poppy, may be the first kid who ever dreamed of running away from the circus. Because of her stupid back brace, she’s the only member of her world-famous trapeze family who can’t ‘fly.’ But she’s very good at fixing up injured critters of all sorts. Settling into their grandfather’s ‘haunted’ house
in Florida, Poppy makes her first real friends while attending a very strange purple school run by the freaky Madame La Vender. But what happened to her grandfather? He went missing seven years ago, about the time other weird happenings began.
The race is on to find an ancient book of wishes her grandfather had. Maybe it will change her luck, until she makes a terrible discovery-its wishes don’t turn out quite right.
Once opened, can anyone close the book again on the diabolical Stolen Magic?
