Do you believe in magic? Well, in this story, Ava is just an ordinary young girl with a carpenter as a father and a mom who makes some of the best apple sauce in town.  One day, the curiosity of Ava took over when she asked her neighbor if she was a witch.  Everyone in the neighborhood wanted to know including Ava’s dad.  Unfortunately, the neighbor left unexpectedly before Ava could get her answer but she left Ava’s father a lot of wood as a gift.  He then used it to make Ava a beautiful doll house, but this was no ordinary doll house.  What do you think was special about this doll house?
