Pru, Cat, and Franny are not friends. But when new-girl Ivy faces danger, they unite to help her and find themselves living out a modern-day Wizard of Oz story. After a slow start, the girls' adventures gain momentum. Primavera's wicked witches are delightfully sinister yet silly, and she presents the girls' struggles toward friendship with a light, humorous touch.
