My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Star Review.

Margot and her brother Goddfrey "Go" home life isn't a happy one. One night their dad finally leaves their family and their mother takes the children to the palace in hopes they are brought and she can be rid of them. The King's son see Go and wants him as his companion. The guards inform the mother they will take Go but they have no need for his sister, Margot feels as through her heart is being ripped out of her and starts to learn some of life's lessons . For the sake of her brother, she tells him he must go, that he was chosen by the Prince himself and that she will come and visit him once a month.

Her mother is pleased with the sale of her son, but isn't happy that she still had Margot. She tells Margot, family isn't anything, and she only wants the money from the sale of her children. When they get outside of the palace, a woman over hears the mother belittling Margot and the woman tells the mother that she will take Margot. The mother and the woman negotiate a price for Margot and her mother walks away with not a word of good-bye, smiling, singing and clutching the coins she received for getting rid of her children.

Margot discovers that she is living with the witches of the Forrest and soon her training will begin. She befriends a girl named Ora who is very sweet to Margot and wants a friend. After several years, Margot's training has developed her skills as quickly as the witches would of liked, and Margot buts leave the only home she has truly ever known. She must now learn to make her own magic in the world.
