Her grand-mère, which is French for grandmother, owned the ancient French spell book when she was alive and then passed it on to Eve. Eve wasn’t a witch but her grandmother was. As a young witch who accidentally discovered that she has magical powers, she received the spell book from her trusted French-speaking friend, Eve, who moved here from New Orleans. She looked under her bed and saw her spell book, the Book of Magie, resting there. Who was that? What should I do? Should I go tell Mom and Dad?

It’s too big to be a squirrel. What is that? Standing at the end of her driveway was a figure. She shuffled to the window and pressed her face against the glass, her eyes scanned back and forth.
