Wise Child (the name is not a compliment) comes to live with Juniper, whom the villagers regard as a witch. There, she grows to understand not just the power of tender treatment, but the way in which she too can heal and help. The relationship between the two of them is the core of the book with a specially fine creation of the character of Juniper. There's magic, excitement and a lovely sense of life and relationship.
