AnneMarie arrives late on her first day of work with all of her belongings packed into her Volkswagen bus. She takes up residence in a local cottage with a long history of cheating lovers. The new teacher shakes up the little school with progressive ideas, much to the irritation of Hal the staid and stodgy principal.Zoe and most of her class are immediately delighted with the lovely and vivacious young AnneMarie who teaches them through song and art. One evening, AnneMarie invites Zoe over to her little cottage. As AnneMarie bathes in her woodfired, outdoor bathtub, she gives Zoe a book of spells, which is ostensibly the mechanism through which change comes to the sleepy little island. Change is relatively mild at first Cloe gets her first boyfriend, Dwayne Spittle, and Zoe learns how to make the wind gust. ........
