We have all been astonished, at times, when we find answers to problems in unexpected ways and places. 

Bella Mirella, is almost ready for fairy school but she needs to learn a few spells before she joins. A doubling spell is supposed to be simple, at least, according to her mother but Bella has a tough time with it.

After a series of misadventures, including turning her little sister, Tina Marina, into a frog, she realizes that it’s easy when you are just yourself. In her case, she just had to be a fairy to do all that a fairy ought to be able to do.

Excerpt

Bella Mirella was so shocked that she had to sit down. What had she done? And how?

“Oh no, this will mean double trouble,” thought Bella Mirella.

And just as the words slipped through her mind…

PING!

There were two frogs!
