doin’?”
    â€œI’m good. I’m calling with my friend April. She also goes to school—”
    â€œArf.” Austin let out a quiet bark.
    â€œAustin, be quiet,” April said, trying to muzzle him. He growled.
    â€œDo you have a puppy?” Eve asked.
    â€œWell, uh, that is why we are calling you.” Grace swallowed. “Remember how you told me about your grandmother? Well, April sort of turned her brother into a dog.”
    â€œOh my!” Eve gasped. “How did you do that? Was it your fairy godmother?” She chuckled.
    April’s hands started to shake. A lump grew in her throat. “Well . . . I found this spell online that I, um, tried and poo f ! It worked.” She swallowed. “Since your grandma was a witch healer we thought maybe you could help us—”
    â€œWow.” Eve sounded amazed. “Maybe you have ‘the gift.’ And, I reckon you mean ‘witch doctor. ’ ” She laughed. “Yeah, I’ll help ya’ll out.” She had a little accent.
    â€œThank you, Eve!” April said happily. “But what is ‘the gift’?”
    â€œSo, April, my grand-mère was a witch doctor,” Eve said.
    â€œYour . . . who?” April asked, scratching her head.
    â€œI should explain. Grand-mère is ‘grandma’ in French. Many people in my family speak French.”
    â€œRemember, April? I told you a lot of French people live in New Orleans!” Grace said.
    â€œI get that. I’m not that slow. Eve just seems so . . . uh . . . normal and . . . well the witch doctors I’ve seen in movies—”
    Eve laughed. “Movies also have talking animals.” The girls laughed. Austin’s groan sounded like a laugh. The girls laughed harder.
    â€œSo, my grand-mère has a spell book,” Eve said. “I found it one day. My mom sent me down to the gross basement. It’s dark and  . . . ewww! Anyway, April, my grand-mère said if you can do spells, then you have a gift.”
    â€œWHAT?” April shrugged her shoulders.
    â€œShe said gifts can be fun and exciting, but they also bring a lot of responsibility,” Eve said. “And, if you are not careful, they can bring big problems. But, that the universe gives us all blessings. This may be a gift you have.”
    â€œSo, my gift may be that I am a witch?”

    â€œYep. You may be a witch. So you can do spells like this one,” Eve said.
    â€œOH NO! OH NO!!! I will NEVER do anything like this again. I’ve learned my lesson,” April said, staring at Austin. “I like experiments. BUT, I kind of . . . uh . . . miss my brother. I won’t say those words EVER again. AND, I’m scared about what Mom and Dad might do to me if they find out.”
    â€œWell, let’s meet here tomorrow morning. Eve, can you bring your spell book?” Grace asked.
    â€œYes ma’am,” Eve said with her polite Southern accent.
    Grace looked at April. “Actually, let’s meet at April’s house, since my brother will be here.”
    â€œGood idea, Genius Galapagos,” April chimed in.
    â€œOK,” said Eve, “I’ll be over in the morning with the spell book.”
    â€œArf,” Austin quietly barked.
    â€œPerfect. I guess Austin agrees, too,” April said, sitting back down on the bed. She tucked Austin under her arm.
    The girls laughed.
    â€œOh NO!” She jumped off the bed again.
    â€œApril, what’s wrong?” Grace asked.
    She pointed to the clock “Look! It’s already five o’clock.”
    â€œUh oh,” Grace said. “Oh my gosh! Austin is supposed to get out of practice soon . . . in less than an hour.”
    â€œWe don’t have much time,” April said as the blood rushed to her face.
    â€œHow are you going to get through
