Grayling's Song;

It€s time for Grayling to be a hero. Her mother, a €œwise woman€€"a sort of witch€"has been turned into a tree by evil forces. Tangles and toadstools! Lacking confidence after years of being called €œFeeble Wits€ by her mother, Grayling heads off dubiously into the wilds in search of help, where she finds a weather witch, an aromatic enchantress, a cheese soothsayer, a slyly foolish apprentice, and a shape-shifting mouse named Pook! A fast-paced and funny coming-of-age odyssey from a Newbery medalist.
