The Seven Stone

Maggie makes friends with the new girl, Tilly. Tilly is convinced she's the daughter of a witch and that she has magical powers. The Seven Stone, she believes, is her protective talisman. Maggie struggles to grasp who and what Tilly (and the stone) really are, as well as the value of friends.This was one of my favorite books as a child. I'm sure every child wants to believe they are special and have magical powers. The moral of the story (that the power of friendship is the best magic of all) didn't matter as much to me, as a kid, as re-reading the book over and over again. A fun little story.
