One day I looked for it and it was gone; she'd donated it at a used book sale. My recall of that book may be off. I haven't been able to remember its name. She got it for me along with another book of the same description that may have had a title with something about a house on cherry blossom? Maybe the books were second-hand even then. The second one wasn't half as good.

The Girl with the Magic Hands is a little bit like my disappeared book, but about transformation from inside, without running away. As I understand it, it's part of a collection of literature for children who need the magic of books. For children who need hope. The book wields a positive punch. Reading it provided a gentle balm that soothed the savage breast and encouraged the creative spirit. At the end the author seemed unwilling to leave the pleasant magic as magic and wanted to go on and explain art and creativity on a more literal level, but, hey, leave the magic alone!

It seems like a cliche since the girl's life changes with just a single occurence which is pretty dominant in most fantasy books but in my opinion,this one had a little touch to it;the magic pen the girl had did not make her draw or start to draw but instead motivated her to draw.

I realized this book was about being fearless; "Even the greatest drawing started with a line. I realized this book was about being fearless;the pen made her realize her talent and even with all the criticism by her parents and even teacher Chinedra went on ahead to display her talent and that made me love this book more!
