OLDER FICTION
Thesman, Jean

The Other Ones

(4) YA When a bully torments the new girl at school and a neighbor abandons his son, Bridget's parents tell her not to get involved in other people's problems. Besides, Bridget has problems of her own; she's a witch who's reluctant to use her powers for fear of being an outcast. With the help of a cranky fairy, however, she learns to accept her true self. Though the writing is imaginative at times, the narrative is confusing and not well fleshed out.
