Summary

Here are children who "believe"—but what they believe and how they can realize their beliefs is only half the story . . .

Dismey, for example, believes she's a magician. Two little boys who teased her can prove it. But they can’t tell—she's turned them into rocks!

And how do you explain an amazing child who believes in attending school—but is hundreds of years old? The explanation is simple . . . if you believe! [from back cover]
