Gift
When you are eleven years old, it seems that anything can happen to you. Especially when your grandmother comes to visit you, who knows how to do magic. You can even learn magic yourself, and then your life will become like a dream: sometimes scary, sometimes intoxicating, then completely unlike anything else. But in order to find a talent in yourself, or save a friend, or just make sure that at least someone really loves you, then you have to try yourself. And no magic will help here.
