The Magic Girl Gorda - Hyacinth Salkey - Bog

Gorda grew up in the middle of a thick forest thinking that she and her parents were the only ones in the world until they moved to a place called Peace Valley where she found out that the world was much bigger than she thought. Just when she started making friends and began to love her new surroundings, her parents packed up and left the city. She had no idea what her parents were running from, nor did she imagined that she would walk right into the trap that her parents tried to protect her from. She found out that she possesses magical powers. At first she thought it was mere luck when she made things work, but then she overheard her parents having a conversation about her. Why were they hiding things from her? Could this be the reason they have been moving from one place to the other?
