She loves changing her name, hugging her brother, setting crickets free, or inventing words. Her father, who used to design airplane engines, now collects scrap metal. Their home looks like a campsite, with mattresses, piles of clothes, and toys everywhere. When her mother falls ill, Charlotte adopts the name \"Clown\" and sets out to take care of her parents. Later, determined to change the course of events, she calls herself \"Witch.\" And although witches cannot always change things, at least they can make wishes.
