The Third Kind of Magic

Can one twelve-year-old girl fight a witch? Exiled from her village for using advanced magic accidentally, Suli must either become a wise woman or be shunned as a witch. Apprenticed to the wise woman Tala, Suli's magical education is cut short when a witch kidnaps her teacher to learn the secret of shape-shifting. Suli discovers she's inherited the shape-shifting ability, too; she learns to fly and to talk to animals.
