Isabelle Bean falls down a hole in the school nurse's office and into another world. There she discovers a people who are afraid of a witch--and who hold secrets about her family. The story's frequent interruptions by an unidentified (until the end) narrator make the book's flow uneven. However, Isabelle is full of imaginative ideas as she tries to investigate her identity.
