Falling In
by Frances O'Roarke Dowell (Children's New books)(J Dowell)(2010)
Isabelle Bean is no ordinary 6th grader. She's a dreamy girl, whose thoughts are rarely on the matter at hand. She's just eccentric enough that the other kids keep their distance. To Isabelle, life is too mundane, there's just not enough magic.
Her ordinary life suddenly changes when she follows a mouse and subsequently "falls in" to another realm. Tales of a witch in this new place send her on the trail to find this so-called witch. All the other children are running away, but not Isabelle. She and a girl she befriends along the way, wind up at an old woman's house, who lives in the woods. She and the other girl, Hen, stay with the woman and learn herbal healing techniques.
It's not long before Isabelle discovers that the woman IS the witch, except she's not really a witch. It's up to Isabelle to dispell the rumor that there is a witch-which then leads to everyone thinking that she is the witch!
You'll have to read the book to find out if she can persuade everyone that there is no witch! -SC-
