Moth falling

Exhibit A of the Self-Fulfilling Title

The Okay Witch by Emma Steinkellner

I could only praise this book is the way I would a bowl of Kraft dinner (or boxed mac and cheese for anyone that didn’t grow up with Canadians). If I really want cheesy noodles and Kraft is available, I’ll eat it.
