When Winnie Foster, an ordinary ten-year-old, discovers a magical family, she is faced with unexpected adventures and a series of decisions. While this is a fantastical story, the characters are utterly human and the dilemmas realistic, prmpting the reader to ask, "Why did they decide to do that? What is right or wrong in this situation? What would I do?"
Although written at a level for the late elementary/middle school/high school crowd, this novel addresses issues and problems which would engage adults as well. There is a movie tie-in and several websites containing lesson plans:
