I understand that there's more than just magic and adventure, The Charm Bracelet also has lots of new friends, foes & courage.Jessie's grandmother, Jessica, owned a charm bracelet with it's own magic to keep all of her memories alive within...and a pet cat called Flynn, who loved protecting his mistress and the house in Blue Moon.
